Of course there is such a way. First download the new kernel sources (either |
| 9 |
by hand or using emerge (emerge gentoo-sources). Then go to /usr/src/linux |
| 10 |
Type make menuconfig, configure the kernel, make dep, make bzImage, make |
| 11 |
modules, make modules_install, and cp the new kernel to the boot dir. |

Also take a look at man grub to see how you can enable the option to choose |
| 14 |
between kernels. |
