I just have two Gentoo kernels on my system: gaming-sources (2.4.20-gaming-r3) and vanilla-sources (2.4.22-2.4.22). If I do a genkernel on 2.4.22, I have to remerge nvidia-kernel, which takes the liberty of removing the files from the previous emerge when it's done, thus removing itself from 2.4.20. A 'touch' on the 2.4.20 nvidia module changes the timestamp, so emerge won't remove it. It's kind of an ugly hack, I wish there was some other way to take care of this.
ok so gentoo has gaming sources out now? cool, why do you need to remerge it? cant you just manually set it up in xfree? or is nv kernel moved to the master linux kernel now? and automatically emerged? i dont understand why it cant be routed to see the other are they on 2 diff partitions? i doubt if your using 2 kernels sounds like your just dual booting a linux :-p (they say i lack something they call common sense, what ever that is. :-p)
Yeah, I am using 2 kernels. I have them both set up in my Grub bootloader so I can choose one to use (I also have a Windows partition, but that's a different story). The nvidia kernel still needs to be available in each of the module folders for the kernels, so emerge can't remove one when it installs the other.
