For those of us that use genkernel there is one thing I've encountered that is very annoying about making kernels.
When a new kernel comes out and I gen a new kernel the external modules don't get made (ie nvidia-kernel, alsa-driver...) so next time I start with the new kernel I have NO sound and NO X
I think this should be done with genkernel and it's really easy to modify genkernel to do it
And here's the diff to do it.

First
Copy this text to a file (ie mygenkernel.diff)
Second
Move the file to /usr/share/genkernel/ (the default location of genkernel)
If you need to find where genkernel is located:
| Code: |
# file `which genkernel`
|
this should show a symlink to where the genkernel bash script is located
Third
| Code: |
# cd /usr/share/genkernel/
# patch -p0 <mygenkernel.diff
|
and then you need to add the following new variables to the /etc/genkernel.conf file
| Code: |
# External kernel drivers to recompile after kernel
KERNEL_EXT_DRIVER="media-sound/alsa-driver media-video/nvidia-kernel"
ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0"
|
KERNEL_EXT_DRIVER is a space separated list of catagory/ebuild of external kernel drivers
ALSA_CARDS is what sound card you have if you don't know what this is try here
This is what I have in on my system you need to change the ALSA_CARDS variable to match your card on your system.
Same with the KERNEL_EXT_DRIVER variable remember you need the catagory as well as kernel driver |
