 |
|
I want to install/run the 2.6.13 kernel... I run 'emerge gentoo-sources' and I seemingly am supposed to get that specific kernel, but I don't know how to 'force' it to that version.. Instead I get linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r10
I tried this:
emerge gentoo-sources-2.6.13
Calculating dependencies
!!! Problem in sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.13 dependencies.
!!! "Specific key requires an operator (sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.13) (try adding an '=')" exceptions |

If you want to emerge a specific version you have to do as it says and drop in an equals sign (=), as in:
| Code: | | emerge =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.13 |
This little snippet, and more, is to be found on the Noobie Cheat Sheet, which I keep in my browser bookmarks at all times.
Good luck with the kernel upgrade. I recently moved to 2.6.13 and it caused me all sorts of bother because I was still running devfs. I'd recommend moving across to udev with your current config before you change kernel, as upgrading several things at once can leave things in a helluva guddle  |

| If 2.6.13 isn't showing up in portage then you need to "emerge sync" to update the available list of packages. |
