Question here - I made the link to the 2005.0 profile on (NOT 2005.0/2.4) |
| 2 |
a system that is 2.6.11 and has been on 2.6 for months. Tonight emerge |
| 3 |
-uD system -p wants to "upgrade" me to a 2.4 kernel!!! Well, portage this |
| 4 |
is a 2.6.x system - not 2.4 - duh! From what I found in the mail list |
| 5 |
archives and forums noone has really given a solution. Some say "what |
| 6 |
problem", others give reasons for it but the fact remains - why on a 2.6 |
| 7 |
system that has happily been running 2.6 for months does this new profile |
| 8 |
want to give me a 2.4 kernel. I did follow one suggest and symlink to |
| 9 |
default-linux/x86 directory but I'm afraid that will break something so I |
| 10 |
went back to 2004.0 for the symlink. And I am at portage 2.0.51.19 so |
| 11 |
that's good. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
In short - what do we have to do to upgrade to a current profile on 2.6 |
| 14 |
machines and get 2.6 gentoo-source updates, not 2.4. |
| 15 |

Thanks. |
