I need to update my packages/modules for upgrade to .24 krnl

Simba7

I want to upgrade all my systems to the .24 kernel, but what do I need to do about the modules/packages that depend on the kernel?

I know I need to re-emerge them, but how do I find out which ones I need to?

or you could emerge module-rebuild...

however, some modules may not compile with2.6.24 kernel...

Module-rebuild won't rebuild packages. For example such as hal, hplip, iptables, lm_sensor, etc.

btw similar to dep is to use:

Thanks for the quick reply.

The only modules I use is ndiswrapper for one system (darn Inprocomm PITA) and rt2x00 on another as an AP.

At least the Inprocomm is client only. It connects via a Cantenna to my access point (parents..)

I did find when I emerged the latest kernel that NOTHING is set up, so I ended up using my old .config file from .23-r6 and tweaking it up a little.
