Hi Rich,
yes the option was set for what reason ever...I will clear that.
Next question...: Do I need v86d still then?
Another thing which drives me crazy:
Linux-headers!
emerge insists of installing linux-headers-4.10. I am runnig
4.9.12. Unstable is globally set (~amd64).
But giviing
emerge sys-kernel/linux-headers-4.9
or
emerge 'sys-kernel/linux-headers-4.9'
gives me
!!! 'sys-kernel/linux-headers-4.9' is not a valid package atom.
!!! Please check ebuild(5) for full details.
Even
emerge sys-kernel/linux-headers-4.10
or
emerge 'sys-kernel/linux-headers-4.10'
results in
!!! 'sys-kernel/linux-headers-4.10' is not a valid package atom.
!!! Please check ebuild(5) for full details.
. I only can do
emerge sys-kernel/linux-headers
but (as mentioned above) it installs 4.10. not 4.9.
v86d does not compile with 4.10.
ebuild (5) suggests to do, what I have done/written above.
Doing a complete rebuild of the root of years of running
gentoo is a ....hrmmmmm..... intersting...hrmmm....experience...
;)
