Copy the new compiled bzImage to /boot, but rename it. Don't overwrite an 
existing kernel!
Add the new kernel to youw bootmanager and reboot.
If there are problems, you can still boot with your old kernel.

[gentoo-user] Scared of New Kernel ebuild

2003-11-01 Thread Matt Neimeyer
Hey All,

I see that there is a newer ebuild for the Gentoo Sources ebuild. (I
last compiled from 2.4.20-r7 and it's offering r8).

Should I emerge it? Should I skip it? Should I emerge and recompile the
kernel? Will it overwrite my old configuration? Etc...

Sorry if this has been asked but all I can seem to find in the forums is
about going from 2.4.x to 2.6.x.

Thanks!

Matt
