Something else hit me while I was recompiling modules (i have a shell |
| 9 |
script to automate it) for a new kernel. |

Why not some functionality to rebuild kernel modules. Perhaps, using |
| 12 |
today's terminology: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Alsa, lm_sensors, Nvidia-kernel, Nvidia-glx, and others will have a |
| 15 |
line: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
provides kernel-module |
| 18 |
|

You can issue the command: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
emerge --rebuildmodules |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
or something like that after rebooting and Portage will resolve all |
| 24 |
sorts of fun stuff and then insert these new modules into the |
| 25 |
/lib/modules place. |
