emerge --update world should install the new kernel sources for you. Did you do a emerge --sync? If so, try emerge --deep --newuse --update world, that'll definitely get the new kernel. > > I assume that the separate kernel source trees means that a new > kernel can be build in parallel to an older one, and the active > kernel chosen at boot time. That's right, you can have as many compiled kernel images in your /boot as you wish, provided you have enough disk space. You can choose between them if you set up your boot loader correctly. > > Thanks, > DigbyT > > P.S. is there an easy way to confirm which kernel source (gentoo/vanilla) > was originally installed? # cat /var/lib/portage/world | grep sys-kernel The above command should give you the kernel(s) you've emerged.
