 |
|
one wuick tings i've browsed around all the threads
and i got most of it down but i'm a lil confused
i emerge mm-sources but there is a linux-beta link to mm-sources
would i need to link mm-sources to my actualy /usr/src/linux in order to get it working?
because i tried to do it with the linux-beta and i didnt get it it compiled but left me no bzImage
would linking my linux folder to mm-source jack up my 2.4 kernel?? |

you have to point /usr/src/linux to the kernel you are currently using.. like this:
| Code: | | cd /usr/src && rm linux && ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test5 linux |
if you doint point the link to the current kernel you use (i put 2.6.0-test5, but it can be whatever you use) some packages wont compile, so it's mandatory.

I have this in my /etc/conf.d/local.start:
| Code: |
rm -f /usr/src/linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux-`uname -r` /usr/src/linux
|
That way I won't have to bother with if the symlink is pointing to the wromg version. |
