OK, I get it now. I was under the (wrong) impression that |
| 16 |
the kernel headers should match the kernel installed. |
| 17 |
So, if portage is trying to install linux-headers-2.6.17 |
| 18 |
it is because that is the stable headers for 2.6, right ? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I even went to the extent of doing a |
| 21 |
make headers_check |
| 22 |
export INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/usr |
| 23 |
make headers_install |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
in the kernel build directory. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I see this is stupid now.. |
