If FEATURES="test" is set then an available test suite is being run, if it is not set it is being skipped.

You definitely should do an emerge -e world if you switched from 3.4 to 4.1 as they are not fully compatible and there have been problems reported if not doing so.

OK, copying the .config file to /boot/ would be a good idea if you do so. However it is not necessary to do so, nothing relies on config being present in /boot/, ebuilds that need information about kernel config take that from /usr/src/linux/.config. It is just a (good) practice to keep the config in /boot/ in case you ever need a backup. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2-ecc0.1.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFElUsZ6q4f+IV6B/wRAoxPAJsGTejGfL59p75sdAw9iVyI6NxdRwCfWKqp PaKSrkwY6bVf3xME8jtNZZ8= =1+FQ -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

User mapping (and authentification) are existant in NFSv4, though I never got around to use it (mainly because NFSv3 works fine for me as I'm just using it on boxes in a private LAN without any security concerns). -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFElCVl6q4f+IV6B/wRAgHXAJ0bEQAvtYqN0LMPW0NxHmydesMZBQCfQNtI 7ivtyPr2jurOHlXzMRyLwVE= =Kenf -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

So if you just want to keep your system up-to-date you should use --deep.

"make modules" only builds the modules, not the kernel itself, so copying the kernel to /boot wouldn't make any difference as it hasn't changed. But (as stated earlier) you should be sure that you are building the modules for the right kernel version. Maintaining an updated /usr/src/linux symlink helps with that (and is needed for other kernel related ebuilds, too). -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2-ecc0.1.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFElAZS6q4f+IV6B/wRAofUAJ4+A/+czQpL3NIC9z7MZf/uyUQEowCghFxr 5MzfAQLxBJfcxFS9hNZfbt8= =eL7D -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Can you give us the complete output of 'emerge -pvDu world', please? My bets are that something depends on kdenetwork and wants to pull it in while you have some of the split ebuilds from kdenetwork installed which causes the blockage. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEkkqi6q4f+IV6B/wRApoFAJwOHmOOrYiFw5AzTnpDS7Ay6YmyagCeKShx Gloo1NlUMO5w9s71Tv3fpnU= =cugL -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Module philosophy: Compile-in or Load
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I usualy start with a kernel with almost everything compiled in (but only things I definitely need), only using modules when I have to (USB for suspend2 comes to my mind). Over time whenever I need something new (filesystem, hardware driver,...) I tend to compile it as a module to avoid a reboot. As I do not upgrade my kernel very often this happens more often than you might think (last upgrade was from 2.6.11 to 2.6.16, on my laptop from 2.6.10 to 2.6.16). I don't really care about the 300k more used memory (hardly worth a thought on systems with 1 GB RAM and more) or the 0.3 seconds faster boot process. Modules just come in handy when it comes to avoiding a reboot. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEjShO6q4f+IV6B/wRAqqVAJ4nJm00PUpjPWQKEXii+j3vN/8zowCfQImC +m69YW947xYOCsZM+sUyqTA= =FNqr -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
