Anybody know why I am getting a 2.4 kernel listed instead of 2.6?
See below.
Thanks,

see the installing guide or 2.6 migration guide for the full answer. if u link your profile to 2005/2.4 your profile will still use the 2.4 kernel. link it to 2005.

I don't see anything in the manual or migration guide about how to link make.profile to 2.6 kernel. I noticed /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/2.6 does not exist. /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/2.4 does so I tried making a 2.6 directory and linking it. The results are below:
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# emerge -pv gentoo-sources
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
!!! ARCH is not set... Are you missing the /etc/make.profile symlink?
!!! Is the symlink correct? Is your portage tree complete?
|
The link is there but empty.
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# ls -l /etc/make.profile
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 50 Jun 13 20:31 /etc/make.profile -> /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/2.6
|
The question is what data goes there? Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
ajnabi |

KoKi,
Fixed it! I finally realized you were meaning to do this:
| Code: |
ln -snf /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0 /etc/make.profile
|
Thanks,
ajnabi |

| That's very odd that you're getting the "ARCH is not set" message. I'd search the forums for threads with those keywords, but in the meantime, post the output of "emerge info". I suspect you're missing a key line or two from make.conf |

I had done:
ln -snf /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/2.6 /etc/make.profile
instead of:
ln -snf /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0 /etc/make.profile
Now it works |
