RE: [gentoo-user] updates

[John Dangler]

hrmm...
I recompile the new kernel, before rebooting, I run module-rebuild list...
and get one entry - "=media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r4"

So, I reboot the new kernel, and get no Ethernet, no wireless, no sound,
nonvidia, and the vga mode is wrong.  (the grub entry is an exact copy of
the previous kernel).

After the reboot, I run module-rebuild list, thinking that I would see all
of those packages... nope.  Only nvidia kernel.

I'm missing something, here.

Any input is appreciated.

Under "Tips and tricks".

Basically just:

# module-rebuild list
# module-rebuild rebuild

I noticed that if you do another "list" after the "rebuild", the
same modules show as needing rebuild.  Then after a reboot
the "list" shows clean.  So I'm assuming the "list" is against
your running kernel.
