I want to upgrade my kernel from 2.4.20-gentoo-r8 to 2.4.20-gentoo-r9 as
recommended. I used genkernel when I installed the kernel the first
time. Should I use genkernel also when I upgrade?
Cheers,

Hello,
Last time I tried to upgrade my kernel I botched it somehow. I would
like to upgrade from 2.4.20-gentoo-r7 to r8 and move my r7 .config
settings into the new r8 kernel. I used Genkernel to compile last time
and this time I would like to manually do this for learning experience.
I found the
Hello all,
I emerged kernel 2.4.20-rc1 today. /usr/src/linux still points to my
2.4.19-rc10 kernel. What should I do about this? I assume I should only
unmerge 2.4.19-rc10 after succesfully compiling 2.4.20-rc1.
Also. Will emerge -u world take me to the altest 1.4-rc3 release once all the

You certainly can. If you do then you will need

Sorry, forgot to mention. If you do not run genkernel with --config then
it does a 'make oldconfig'. AFAIK this is just basic config that comes
I copied the config file in /etc/kernels/...
Genkernel uses that file if it exists.
Everything went fine, execpt that USB seems broken in gentoo-r9 (at
least on my system).

Yes, everything below -r9 d
Ok. So now I'm aware of the root exploit and some of the bugs
associated with -r9. Can I get a confident confirmation from someone
that the following (How-To) -- Upgrade your Kernel -- listed below, is
correct in its entirety??

Mea culpa. I'll simply practice what I preach and shut up about it.

It's bzImage, not bizImage and it's a file. It's the
generated kernel. Copy it to /boot and rename it as you
please.
make dep && ... and doing it all on one line are the
same. the && form just quits after dep it something goes
wrong but so will the other.

Ok I will and try and make this simple.
Say I'm using "genkernel" to automate the kernel compile:
Will simply moving the ".config" from the current Kernel tree to new
Kernel tree use the same menu slections that were used in the original
Kernel tree?
E.G.
1) mount /boot
2) cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.

I just recently upgraded KDE from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3. This went smoothly.
I then upgraded my Kernel from 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 to 2.4.20-gentoo-r7.
This is how I did the kernel upgrade. (please let me know if there's a better way to
do this. As
I'm new to compiling the kernel and the upgrade didn't seem
You need to remove the old symlink and
create a new sym link towards the new kernel which you
have just downloaded:
cd /usr/src && rm linux && ln -s /usr/src/kernelyouwanttouse linux
if you want to remove the old kernel sources you need to find it in:

The symlink has to be made manually by you. Some people like to have
