[gentoo-user] emerge kernel?

[Alexander Kirillov]

Hi!
Is there a way to list all ebuilds which need to be remerged after 
kernel upgrade? Would be nice to have a special emerge target for this 
very thing to happen automatically.

emerge -v $( equery b /lib/modules | sed -e 's:^:>=:' )

Thanks Peter,
Found a module I forgot to rebuild using equery b /lib/modules:)
On the other hand splashutils need to be remerged sometimes afaik.
And vmware drivers.

Yes, I noticed that, too-- when I last tried Peter's command after a
kernel update, I surprisingly got x11-xorg as a result (which was good),
but not the ati-drivers, iirc, and also not splashutils (which, as you
say, does sometimes need re-emerging, though I haven't quite figured out
what precisely is the trigger, and I don't use vmware).

I meant to ask about that, because while the command does seem to catch
some modules that I didn't know needed to be re-emerged when upgrading
the kernel, it seems to miss some that I know do, but I don't know
enough about the issue to know why.

VMWare doesn't need to be re-emerged after a kernel upgrade, but you need
to run vmware-config again. Because the kernel modules are not installed
by portage, but created by vmware-config, the equery command won't pick
them up. It picks up all modules that belong to a package, and thus
weren't installed by the kernel configuration and the vmware modules
don't belong to a package :(

There could be a wrapper ebuild around vmware-config
which would register the modules. But of course this is more
of a wish than a necessity. Probably some day portage will
handle this sort of dependencies.

You may want to take a look at 'sys-kernel/module-rebuild' (A utility to
rebuild any kernel modules which you have installed.)

Thanks for your help guys,
Peter's method works just fine for me.
