A problem that I (and others) have is portage unmerging kernel drivers |
| 2 |
from an existing kernel when emerging them to a new kernel. |
| 3 |
ala |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
emerge nvidia-kernel |
| 6 |
emerge alsa-driver |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
unmerges the driver from your current kernel before you have a known |
| 9 |
good new kernel. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Is there a current method for doing so that I missed? If not could an |
| 12 |
additional protected flag be set to prevent unmerging if the kernel |
| 13 |
version is different than the last emerge of the driver, similar to the |
| 14 |
slot #? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
it would make life a lot easier for noobs & non experts to work out |
| 17 |
kerenel configs without messing up a working kernel. |
