Hi,
I am using a nvidia card for linux. Therefore I have to compile the
nvidia driver interface for each new vanilla kernel I want to
use.
After compiling/installing the new kernel, the "old" kernel is
still running.
Is it possible -- and how -- to compile/install this interface for
the new kernel while the old one is still running?
Would save me one reboot...
I always do that and never had a problem. eselect to set new kernel
version, make & install the new kernel, emerge packages containing
modules, reboot. Works for me.
sorry, I missed to say, that I am using the vanilla kernel from
ftp.kernel.org. I am not using the gentoo kernel sources...
The only difference I can see that this makes is that the `eselect`
might not work if you've installed the sources manually. I doubt it,
but to be on the safe side use the vanilla kernel from ftp.kernel.org
by using the `emerge sys-kernel/vanilla-sources` command.
Stroller.
