I have searched the forum for this, but i cannot find it. I figured i would post this message.

I am currently installing gentoo on my machine. The only Kernel that you can find under

emerge -au gentoo-dev-sources

is 2.6.3 RC1

I want to be able to do a fresh install of the latest kernel. Is there a way to do this?

Also, can someone tell me the compile and install comands though they are different in the install guide. I also need the install commands for the /boot so i can install the kernel images and config file.


Thanks

you can install kernel that you want entering in /usr/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources/ and typing emerge gentoo-dev-sources-xxx.ebuild (type "ls" for specify).

for the second, read this: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook.xml?part=1&chap=9#doc_chap2

Kernel 2.6.4 is not on the Live CD or stable for gentoo-dev-sources. It is stable for development-sources though, so you can emerge that one.

Check this page for a list of availble and stable kernels: http://packages.gentoo.org/packages/?category=sys-kernel

The instructions are all there in the install guide. If you have any specific questions then just come back here and ask them. But no one will give you a complete set of commands because they are already listed in the install guide.
