I doubt that it grabs the kernel running from the CD, 'cause when I run |
| 13 |
'genkernel --menuconfig all' the kernel config that is brought up does |
| 14 |
*not* have any AMD stuff in it. I removed that from the kernel because |
| 15 |
I don't have an AMD system. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
In this process, I followed the relevant steps in the Handbook, but I |
| 18 |
*didn't* emerge any software. For instance, I didn't emerge genkernel |
| 19 |
or gentoo-sources because they are already on the hard drive. I can try |
| 20 |
re-emerging these to see if it will help. I will point out the |
| 21 |
/usr/src/linux symlink points to the right sources. |

I'll check this. |

Yes. |

No, I use gentoo-sources and I have the latest stable version. I did an |
| 46 |
emerge --sync and the an emerge --pretend --update --deep world in the |
| 47 |
chroot'd environment and the list of files returned did not include an |
| 48 |
updated gentoo-sources ebuild |
