Is there any way I can inform the portage system of a kernel upgrade - so that it can automatically recompile packages which depend on the kernel (like, alsa-driver and the nvidia modules)?
I upgraded my kernel from 2.4.19 to 2.4.21 (due to the ptrace-exploit). The emerge vanilla-sources just unpacked the tarball in /usr/src/linux. I compiled and copied the kernel image manually. So the portage system did not know about the change. The next time I rebooted into the new kernel, alsa did not work and neither did X. So I had to manually (re)emerge alsa-driver, nvidia-kernel, and nvidia-glx. Is there a way to automate this process? Nandz -- http://home.iitk.ac.in/student/nanda -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
