1 Hi,
2
3 I did not find this by Google. Maybe I asked the wrong
4 terms.
5
6 The package "virtualbox-modules" contains some kernel
7 modules. When I built the package they landed in the
8 directory
9
10 # equery f app-emulation/virtualbox-modules
11 ...
12 /lib/modules/4.4.39-gentoo/misc/vboxdrv.ko
13 /lib/modules/4.4.39-gentoo/misc/vboxnetadp.ko
14 ...
15
16 After a kernel update the VirtualBox won't find them any
17 more and do not expect that at all.
18
19 I could delete the package and build-install it again, but
20 then the old kernels modules would disappear. I just want
21 to install the new ones.
22
23 I could do a sequence of "ebuild" commands. Is there a
24 front end "emerge" command, too? Something like the -U flag?
25
26 Thanks in advance.
