Custom kernel build fails: rsync: Argument list too long
by Sebastian Hetze 02 Mar '26

02 Mar '26

Hi *, when trying to build the centos-stream-9 main-automotive kernel for the x86_64 architecture as described in the automotive sig documentation <https://sigs.centos.org/automotive/building/building_an_os_image_that%20use…>, it fails. The failing command appears to be /usr/bin/make -s 'HOSTCFLAGS=-O2 -fexceptions -g -grecord-gcc-switches -pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 -fstack-protector-strong -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1 -m64 -march=x86-64-v2 -mtune=generic -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection' 'HOSTLDFLAGS=-Wl,-z,relro -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,now -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1 ' -j12 ARCH=x86_64 V=1 'TARGETS=bpf cgroup mm livepatch net net/forwarding net/mptcp netfilter tc-testing memfd drivers/net/bonding iommu cachestat drivers/net' SKIP_TARGETS= FORCE_TARGETS=1 INSTALL_PATH=/home/she/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/kernel-automotive-5.14.0-570.518_at.el9iv.x86_64/usr/libexec/kselftests VMLINUX_H= DEFAULT_INSTALL_HDR_PATH=0 install with the error make[3]: Entering directory '/home/she/Workspace/centos-stream-9/redhat/rpm/BUILD/kernel-5.14.0-570.518_at.el9iv/linux-5.14.0-570.518_at.el9iv.x86_64/tools/testing/selftests/bpf' Auto-detecting system features: ... llvm: [ OFF ] make[3]: rsync: Argument list too long make[3]: *** [Makefile:768: test_progs-no_alu32-extras] Error 127 make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/she/Workspace/centos-stream-9/redhat/rpm/BUILD/kernel-5.14.0-570.518_at.el9iv/linux-5.14.0-570.518_at.el9iv.x86_64/tools/testing/selftests/bpf' make[2]: *** [Makefile:233: install] Error 2 This is the unmodified main-automotive branch of the current centos-stream-9 kernel on a current centos-stream-9 system. Setting ulimit -S -s unlimited for ARG_MAX 6291456 does not make any difference. It looks like the actual problem is not with the rsync command line. Any hint what is going wrong and how to proceed?

Enforcing 2FA to the CentOS/automotive namespace
by Pierre-Yves Chibon 25 Feb '26

25 Feb '26

Good Morning Everyone, I would like to raise the topic of enforcing 2FA on the entire CentOS/Automotive namespace on gitlab: https://gitlab.com/CentOS/automotive/ This is something I can do, but before I click the button I'd like to ask: is anyone opposed to this? If not, I'll switch the configuration next week. Thanks in advance for your thoughts! Pierre

Hi everyone, I would like to request a new repository creation: https://gitlab.com/CentOS/automotive/src/sysboot This repository will host a package creating system boot checks based on systemd by using simple unit drop-ins. This will, later on, also be used in [automotive-image-builder](https://gitlab.com/CentOS/automotive/src/automoti….
