So I just noticed that when I run:
emerge @module-rebuild
after having installed a kernel update, the kernel modules of the
previous kernel version are being deleted. I am sure this didn't use to
be the case. I have two entries configured in grub:
Gentoo
Gentoo (previous kernel)
They load /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/vmlinuz.old respectively (these are
created by "make install" of gentoo-sources.)
Right now, I have gentoo-sources-5.10.47 booted. Modules are in:
/lib/modules/5.10.47-gentoo
I just built 5.10.48 and did the usual "make install" and "make
modules_install". This updated the vmlinuz and vmlinuz.old symlinks in
/boot (as well as the config[.old] and System.map[.old] symlinks) and
installed its modules into:
/lib/modules/5.10.48-gentoo
So far, so good. But when I ran "emerge @module-rebuild", which rebuilds
these two packages:
app-emulation/vmware-modules
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
The vmwware and nvidia kernel modules got deleted from
/lib/modules/5.10.47-gentoo.
This is bad. When did this change? How can I prevent this from happening?
