The kernel sources are not installed by default. You must copy the linux-source |
| 17 |
package to your |
| 18 |
gentoo partition, chroot there and run |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
pkgmerge linux-source.... |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Then you can build a kernel. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Of cause there is a default kernel installed in /boot/boot/bzImage |
