There is some differences, to edit 'nano ls -l /usr/src' but doesn't load anything?

emerge gentoo-sources

:)

@Toorox ~ $ eix gentoo-sources
/var/cache/eix was created with an incompatible eix-update:
It uses database format 28 (current is 29).
Please run 'eix-update' and try again.

Question : The code 'eix-update' is near enough same as 'emerge gentoo-sources' ? :blink:

Hello rolandx1,
This is the output 'eix gentoo-sources' since installing the new kernel:

So i take it that looks correct? It is saying 3.2.9 is installed.

Step 7.
backup old kernel
mv /boot/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz.old

The Result Step 7.
a. linux # mv /boot/vmlinuz/boot/vmlinuz.old
mv: missing destination file operand after `/boot/vmlinuz/boot/vmlinuz.old'
Try `mv --help' for more information.
b. linux # cp arch/i386/boot/bzimage/boot/vmlinuz
cp: missing destination file operand after `arch/i386/boot/bzimage/boot/vmlinuz'
Try `cp --help' for more information.

None the less i continued and rebooted to a desktop, all appears ok, That was good of you to show me how to do that, thank you.

Out of curiosity, since i am booting from ubuntu grub, i have now 'update-grub', in doing so would it boot from the gentoo 3.2.6 kernel? what code to show the active kernel?

Regards, Steve

According to System Monitor im still on kernel 3.1.6

eix-sync is same as emerge --sync && update-eix

important is
ln -s /usr/src/ show

linux -> linux-3.2.9-gentoo

that should happen after you add
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources symlink
to your package.use
and make a emerge gentoo-sources

if not, something failed and you install 3.1.6 again and again and again ..... ;)


7. backup old kernel
mv /boot/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz.old
there is a space between the paths :)
same to cp

show kernel:
uname -a
