6 does the livecd boot up okay ?
7
8 if so take the .config from this in the kernel build for your own new
9 kernel, if the livecd kernel still exists in portage and all else
10 fails use this same version as the livecd
11
12 USE="symlink" emerge --ask sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
13 zcat /proc/config.gz /usr/src/linux/.config
14 genkernel --oldconfig all
15
16 add kernel to grub, reboot
17
18 btw i have a few bugs for this kernel version, so check bugs.g.o
19
20 to gentoo infra, can it be added so the livecd can install the livecd
21 kernel on new installs without head attach ? :)
22
23 and after reboot users can build a more optimized kernel, and still
24 have the livecd kernel as a failback if anything goes wrong ?
