emerge -uD
but I found a src directory have 6.6.74 source code, but I emerge -s linux,does not show 6.6.74 kernel, why it appeared?
emerge -s kernel
sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel

We have two ways for installing a kernel:
a) Using an automated pre-configured kernel - our Gentoo distribution kernel. This is package "sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel" (or the compiled version of it as "sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin"). This will give you later the directory: /usr/src/linux-6.X.Y-gentoo-dist. In "eselect kernel list" you see it as:
| Code: | | [2]linux-6.6.67-gentoo-dist |
look at the -dist 
b) Using the souces for a manually configuration of the kernel. This is package "sys-kernel/gentoo-sources". This will give you later the directory: /usr/src/linux-6.X.Y-gentoo. In "eselect kernel list" you see it as:
| Code: | | [1]linux-6.6.67-gentoo |
look at the missing -dist 
So, in the past you have installed both ... and later you have removed the distribution kernel in your /var/lib/portage/world. I guess you now have there only the entry:
| Code: | | sys-kernel/gentoo-sources |
and so a world-update handles only the gentoo-sources package.
(BTW: emerge -s linux does not show your kernels)

sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel
Latest version available: 6.6.67

there shows installed 6.6.67, yes,I installed gentoo-source to compile 486version kernel for another vintage 486.
