I'm tryign to patch the kernel with the grsecurity, but I haven't done much installing and I can't seem to find the kernel to patch! rofl...

also, my kernel is currently 2.6.12-gentoo-r9, but I have a 2.6.13-gentoo-r2 from the emerge updates, How do I update to my newest kernel, (copy old configs too, I did the stage1 install with nptl threading support and all that fun stuff...) and then how do I add in my nice lil patch (I think I have to add a nvidia patch too everytime a new kernel is used, right? I run fluxbox on xorg with nvidia drivers...)

Well, any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

I'll throw you a bone, forget kernel patch, too much hassle.

do:

emerge hardened-sources

and you'll magically get a gentoo kernel that actually works and has the patch in it. :lol: much easier. then just configure and compile as normal (and don't forget to enable the new grsec and pax options!)
