I've never looked into the ebuilds to see how they manage it, but the |
16 |
on-screen output shows lines saying things like "registering self with |
17 |
module-update" or words to that effect. So I suppose the answer to your |
18 |
question is yes. |

You can also use "module-rebuild add" to add stuff manually |
21 |
and "module-rebuild populate" to automatically find relevant modules |
22 |
the first time |

You only need to update them after new kernel installation and maybe |
30 |
after recompiling a kernel. You should always know when you update a |
31 |
kernel 'coz you do it maually right? :-) So then remember to run |
32 |
module-update as well. With some man page reading you may event find a |
33 |
hook out of genkernel to do it automatically (but I never bothered |
34 |
researching if this is even possible) |
