Subject: [gentoo-user] Kernel install target and firmware
Date: Sun, 28 Aug 2016 10:02:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160828165445.21717.06DDFFDA@matica.foolinux.mooo.com> (raw)
It seems that without extra tweaking, running "make modules_install" in
a built gentoo-sources tree always results in the Linux supplied
firmware being reinstalled into /lib64/firmware. This is different from
debian and definitely not my preferred way; I like to keep the firmware
stable unless there is a tangible reason to update it.
So, what is the extra tweak I need to apply to change this behavior? Is
there a kernel menuconfig option for this?
