Subject: [gentoo-dev] issues with installing a new kernel
Date: Tue Feb  6 10:48:01 2001	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010206104751.A27279@cvs.gentoo.org> (raw)

Hi,

I found a couple of issues with installing a new kernel...

First of all, I accidently installed the package w/o first mounting
/boot. So, after I rebooted, grub loaded the old kernel, since it
wasn't overwritten by the new one. I don't know if it would be a good
idea to mount /boot from the ebuild script, but we should maybe add
some kind of warning to it to at least remind people of it. Second, I
*do* think it would be a good idea to add depmod -a {kernel_version}
to the ebuild script, since this only changes stuff in the new module
directory, which just got installed anyways. What do you guys think?

Pete
