Re: [gentoo-user] Upgraded from 2.4.20r5 to r6 ???'s...
Thanks for the responses everyone. Because I'm new I would like to stick with Genkernel for now. And by the way I only have Kernel 2.4 and 2.5...NO 2.6 During the Intial install I just typed genkernel and it did everything for me. What do I need to do now that I have 2 different kernel sources? Sorry, about this... I'm new and doing anything with the kernel right now is out of my league for the time being.. :D Assuming that I'm using Genkernel to install the newly downloaded kernel what exactly am a typing at the command line???

Kernels, under no circumstances, are automagically built and installed for you. What emerge did was put the new source onto your system, for you to compile. The kernel is far too important to risk messing with in an automated way.

You can, just follow the convention of putting them into /usr/local/..., and remove them again if they appear in portage. All kinds of horrid compilation problems can ensue if out of date libraries are found, especially when they aren't under portage's control. - -- Mike Williams -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/WwzDInuLMrk7bIwRAu58AJ96zfHxide0ZNV2tt7y/xih2/933wCfY9nc SS5QuCOao76b9ZnsOuFp7/8= =kCnX -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Hello Joshua Banks wrote: I show a kernel-2.4 and a kenrel-2.5 in /etc/modules.autoload.d/ This is what you should have. $ ls /etc/modules.autoload.d/ kernel-2.4 kernel-2.5 kernel-2.6 If I do a "uname -a", it shows that I'm still running 2.4.20-gentoo-r5. Did I do the right thing after upgradeing or do I need to reboot as well? A portage upgrade will only place the newer kernel sources on your system. You will need to:- (1) Configure it (2) Compile it (3) Copy it to /boot (4) Reboot Is there some type of Standard Operating Proceedure after doing an "emerge sync" ,"emerge -u world" and/or right after downloading anytype of application..I.E. ethereal, Gaim, ect..ect.. that I should be following for best practices? Standard operating procedure? (1) emerge sync (2) emerge -Duvp world or emerge -uvp world (to check use flags and packages) (3) emerge -Du world OR emerge -u world (4) etc-update Can I download other applications (tar.gz's) that aren't included in the portage tree without effecting Gentoo in anyway? Absolutely. It's a free world. However, if there are packages that you want that are not on the portage tree it would be nice for other users if you could file a bug request for it to be added to the tree as we can all benefit from it.

When I issued the commad: emerge -u world My kernel was upgraded form 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 to r6. Among other things.
