I want to emerge the kernel 2.6.12, but "emerge gentoo-sources" directly will get the kernel 2.6.31,
then how to emerge the 2.6.12 gentoo-sources?

I think it's impossible. Oldest version in portage is 2.6.16-r13.

you need to find ebuild and sources for 2.6.12. Do not ask me where ;)

Code:
emerge =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r13

for the oldest still available gentoo-sources.

Hi,

Well, it looks like gentoo-sources-2.6.12 have gone from the tree - oldest version is 2.6.16-r13 as of my sync of portage yesterday.

However, to emerge a specific version, you would:

Code:

emerge =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r13


or replace the version number with whichever version you're choosing.
