[gentoo-user] can' emerge kernel 2.6

[gentoo-user] can' emerge kernel 2.6

[Benjamin Grauer]

hi - Since some time now i tried to re-emerge a new Version of the
gentoo sources

earlier in this year i just emerged the gentoo-dev-sources, and it
worked perfectly, but since the change of the 2.6 kernel to the
gentoo-sources-ebuild, i don't seem to be able to emerge any version
above 2.4.X

also i do not see, what use-flags could affct this, since on my laptop i
have the same ones, and there it works with gentoo-sources

hopefully, there is someone out there, that encountered the same problem...

greetings
    Benjamin Grauer

Which profile are you using?

ls -l /etc/make.profile

Hi there,

The only thing that I can imagine that may be causing something like this is 
the portage profile that you are using...

Now, I am assuming that your Gentoo installation is based on an older
"release", and
based upon that assumption, the question is: Have you updated to a
more recent  profile?

If this is the case, there is documentation available at: 
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-upgrading.xml

If the truth can't set you free, a lie will save you.

Without the trailing slash it shows the symbolic link target, thus the 
original profile in the portage tree. On my system this gives:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 46 Apr 15 11:16 /etc/make.profile 
-> /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0

This means the listed packages with a version number greater than 2.5 are 
masked.

ls -l /etc/make.profile - without the trailing slash.

If the post office has machines that can sort snail mail at 1000's of
times per minute, then why do they give it to a little old man on a bike
to deliver?

hmm... ok.. now it shows the link, and i think i see the problem...

/etc/make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/2.4

now what todo..
i think i try the tutorial for upgrading safely....

Ok. thanks a lot.
 now i have found the solution.
   Just did not know that portage was so cool, but hard to understand :)

That's why I asked for the ls without the slash, it shows which profile
you are using. As I suspected, you are using a 2.4 profile. AFAIK, the
only way to be using this profile is if you set it yourself, so you must
have decided you wanted 2.4 at some time.

Change the link to ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0 to
switch to the, default, 2.6 profile..

Do a ls -ld /etc/make.profile to see what it's linked to.
