 |
|
I'm building my own kernel for the first time and decided to go with the more up-to-date mm-sources. I'm building from scratch, not updating an existing kernel.
That works fine.
But what is the correct symlink to set for it? For the vanilla gentoo-dev-sources it's:
| Code: | | ln -sf /usr/linux-2.6.0 /usr/src/linux |
But what would I use for mm-sources? I've tried various things but no luck. I'm sure it's another easy one, but I'm still learning here.. |

Go to your /usr/src directory and look for the name of the kernel-directory. It should be something like
Your /usr/src/linux then sould point to this directory.
| Code: | | ln -sf /usr/linux-2.6.0-mm1 /usr/src/linux |

Well if you have ACCEPT_KEYWORDS set to ~x86 you will have a more recent kernel, do a
In my case the latest mm-sources that I've emerged is linux-2.6.1-rc1-mm2.

I'm positive I tried that. I'll give it another shot though.

I haven't set it to ~x86, but I might do that to get the newer MM. |
