Hi there, |
| 2 |
long ago i installed a 2.6.24 kernel in /usr/src manually. I had added the |
| 3 |
line "sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.24" (without quotes) to the file |
| 4 |
/etc/portage/profile/package.provided. There is no kernel in |
| 5 |
/var/lib/portage/world... This may be related to the fact i recently moved my |
| 6 |
make.profile to point to 2008 instead of 2007... |
| 7 |
|

Now, I'm trying to do a simple `emerge -uDN world` and for some reason, the |
| 9 |
nvidia-drivers keep trying to pull a gentoo-sources. Here's the output of |
| 10 |
`emerge -vpt nvidia-drivers`: |
| 11 |
[ebuild U ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-96.43.09 [96.43.07] USE="gtk -acpi |
| 12 |
-custom-cflags% (-multilib)" 7,067 kB |
| 13 |
[ebuild N ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r7 USE="-build -symlink" 0 kB |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
The main problem is i really lack diskspace (on my eeepc 4gb) and I can't |
| 16 |
install that kernel (not even install and uninstall it). Besides, I would |
| 17 |
really like if emerge/portage could leave my kernel alone, completely. |
| 18 |
|

NeddySeagon and Miravlix tried to help on #gentoo, i tried modifying the |
| 20 |
.provided line to "virtual/linux-sources", didn't help. Tried putting a version |
| 21 |
that corresponds to a valid ebuild (2.6.24 doesn't exist in portage) like |
| 22 |
"sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.24.7" but that didn't help either. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I've been able to hack my way around this problem for now (by masking the pkgs |
| 25 |
that were being updated that were pulling the kernel), but that is a dirty solution. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I would really want to make portage leave my kernel(s) alone, if anyone can help... |

Thanks, Simon |
