| Is 2.6.10 even released yet? kernel.org still says its at 2.6.10-rc2. |

http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=development-sources
You need to keyword it first: (if not using a full ~arch system) | Code: | | echo "sys-kernel/development-sources ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords |
(Use your arch instead of x86, such as ppc or amd64 as the case may be.) Then a simple | Code: | | # emerge "=sys-kernel/development-sources-2.6.10_rc2" |
should put it all in /usr/src/linux-2.6.10-rc2 for you. Then you should update your /usr/src/linux symlink to point to the new kernel source tree and update your kernel according to the Gentoo Handbook (at least that's the method I use).
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=7#doc_chap3
(That's for x86, your arch may be different, especially the part about configuring your bootloader.)
Hope that helps!

thanks Peter.
i have a question about this: at present I'm using the gentoo-dev-sources kernel. i have ACCEPT KEYWORDS="~x86" as an entry in /etc/make.conf. with that in mind, do i still need to to this: | Code: | | echo "sys-kernel/development-sources ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords |
or do i already have that base covered by the keywords statement in make.conf?
thanks. |
