why you making so much work for yourself? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
set the /usr/src/linux symlink to each set of installed sources in turn, |
| 24 |
run emerge @module-rebuild |
| 25 |
or run module-rebuild rebuild |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
you could even script it |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
cd /usr/src |
| 30 |
for I in linux-* |
| 31 |
do |
| 32 |
ln -sfn $I linux |
| 33 |
module-rebuild rebuils |
| 34 |
done |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Fixing my bash syntax errors is left as an exercise for the interested reader |
