Cannot install this kernel on Bluefin

[wegweg7979]

Trying to use the commands for silverblue, but it errors with dependancy issues. If i seperate the block of commands, they run successfully but the system never boots the cachy os kernel.

hello.
can you send me the output of rpm-ostree status and uname -a on your system after you ran the commands successfully (and restarted)?

I encountered a similar issue while building Silverblue.

Previously, I also installed kernel-cachyos-lto-nvidia-open to fix this issue, but since the nvidia kernel modules are no longer shipped, there is no workaround.

when you say building Silverblue: are you using the regular rpm-ostree command where packages are overlayed locally or are you building your own image (on Github for example) and then rebasing to that image?

building on github. thanks

I built using blue build via github action, and it failed during the build.

I'm able to reproduce the problem, investigating.

Ive had no more problems since, my issue was probably user error. Cachy kernel installing and working fine on custom silverblue now, thankyou.

Well, I'm having the same issue now. 😂 Do you happen to be able to provide the rpm-ostree command you used?
