But when I ran "emerge @module-rebuild", which rebuilds these two packages: app-emulation/vmware-modules x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers The vmwware and nvidia kernel modules got deleted from /lib/modules/5.10.47-gentoo. This is bad. When did this change? How can I prevent this from happening?Hasn't this always been the case. emerging a package removes files installed by the previous merge. I think adding /lib/modules to CONFIG_PROTECT will prevent their deletion.
I just tried that after "eselect kernel set 1" and rebuilding modules, and it doesn't help.
I am quite sure the modules were not uninstalled in my old system. It could be that I had to set some option somewhere, but I don't remember :-/
