1. emerge the new kernel, configure and build: # emerge gentoo-sources # cd /usr/src # rm -f linux # ln -s linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r8 linux # cp linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r7/.config linux # cd linux # make oldconfig ... answer questions if any ... # make clean dep # make bzImage modules # make modules_install # cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-gentoo-r8 2. optinal: if you use alsa-driver # cd /lib/modules # touch 2.4.20-gentoo-r7/kernel/sound (should be enough to protect r7's alsa modules, but it would be better to backup them) # emerge alsa-driver 3. optional: if you use nvidia-kernel # cd /lib/modules # touch 2.4.20-gentoo-r7/video/nvidia.o (should be enough to protect r7's nvidia modules, but it would be better to # emerge nvidia-kernel 4. adda menu in grub.conf to handle the new kernel: copy and paste the lines for your other kernel and change whatever is needed. hth -- mathieu perrenoud -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
