I too just installed a new kernel (6.6.13). My notes told me to do : make && make firmware_install && make modules_install mount /boot cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-<nn>-gentoo-r<n> cp System.map /boot/System.map-<nn>-gentoo-r<n> which worked with the appropriate version numbers inserted, but not before it choked on 'make firmware_install', which has disappeared. I too use Lilo, a simple + reliable boot manager. I have long wondered why the compile stage takes so long : it compiles innumerable .o files, which seem to involve config options I haven't chosen. The new kernel image is size 17633728 via 'ls -l /boot' : is that correct ? It does indeed boot & there are no changes in behaviour. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatcadotinterdotnet
