This sounds great, but what about the kernel I'm booted into, against which the module will *not* be compiled, if I have to reboot before actually configuring/compiling/installing the new kernel?
You can get pretty close to your desired behavior (merge kernel last) if you simple mask kernel package versions greater than the one that is currently installed. mkdir -p /etc/portage echo ">sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.14-r2" >> /etc/portage/package.mask That way, portage will not attempt to upgrade it until you tell it that you are ready, by removing the mask. And yeah, if USE=symlink causes problems, don't use it (in my suggested scenario above it might be useful though). Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
