emerging a kernel source just unpacks it to /usr/src/ |
| 10 |
It doesn't actually compile it. |
| 11 |
Furthermore, by default kernel sources are slotted, so your old |
| 12 |
sources should still be in /usr/src |
| 13 |
And unless you have set the symlink use variable, /usr/src/linux |
| 14 |
should still point to your old sources. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
So in short: |
| 17 |
1) You have not actually compiled/installed/booted a new kernel. So |
| 18 |
I am not sure what you are worried about. |
| 19 |
2) Even after you compiled the new kernel, unless you explicitly |
| 20 |
remove the old sources (the suggested way is to rm -rf |
| 21 |
/usr/src/[insert directory here] followed by emerge --unmerge =the |
| 22 |
particular version of that source) it would still be on your system, |
| 23 |
so you shouldn't need to do anything special to 'rollback' |
