 |
|
| hey I was wondering is there any program or script that I could use to recompile the compile the kernel and emerge nvidia automatically and replace the old bzImage file? I hate having to setup the kernel every time there is a new upgrade, but I still want to upgrade. |

I use a simple alias in bash to do a few things for me when I'm pretty sure a kernel compile will work (this is from memory so if some of the commands are a bit wrong the that's why but you get the idea).
| Code: | alias Compile='make && make modules_install && emerge ati-drivers && opengl-update ati && mount /boot && cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage.test && umount /boot'
|
I only use this when I'm sure it'll work and I can't be bothered to do each process automatically, and I only use it after I have checked the kernel config by hand, I would never let a script do that for me.
I have a few other ones that break it down, such as 'Ati' will emerge the drivers and then opengl-update and so on.
Might help. |
