 Posted: Mon Mar 13, 2006 10:11 am Post subject: How to switch from genkernel to gentoo-sources |
 |
|
Hi All
I have recently installed GENTOO 2006.0 through an Live CD.
As suggested in the hand book i had to choose the "genkernel".
Now i would like to go for gentoo-sources kernel as i would have to bring out an
customised kernel.
I have come across the steps that i need to follow
1) emerge gentoo-sources
2) make menuconfig(location /usr/src/linux)
3) copy the bzImage and .config to /boot
4) Replace the image name in lilo by the above specified name and path(i.e /boot)
Is my understanding right?
Can i also change the kenel option of "genkernel"?
Thanks

It is all good way of thinking. I myself prefer doing make install modules_install instead of copying BzImage.
Kernel option of genkernel? You mean .config? just copy it to right directory. And remember to make symlink /usr/src/linux point to right directory. |

first unmerge genkernel (emerge -C genkernel ? - i'm not sure if it is all)
emerge gentoo-sources
ln -sf for sources => /usr/src/linux (for example: ln -sf /usr/src/linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r1 /usr/src/linux)
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
make && make modules && make modules_install && make install
check /boot directory and grub.conf
then emerge drivers like nvidia-kernel, alsa-driver... |

| Code: |
emerge --unmerge genkernel
USE="symlink" emerge gentoo-sources
cd /usr/src/linux
zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
make menuconfig

That will get rid of Genkernel, install gentoo-sources, and cop the genkernel config that you are currently under to the current kernel config. Now you need to remove about 800 modules. lspci is your friend. Good luck!
