Hi there,
long ago i installed a 2.6.24 kernel in /usr/src manually. I had
added the
line "sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.24" (without quotes) to the file
/etc/portage/profile/package.provided. There is no kernel in
/var/lib/portage/world... This may be related to the fact i recently
moved my
make.profile to point to 2008 instead of 2007...
Remove that again and try "emerge =sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.24".
Now, I'm trying to do a simple `emerge -uDN world` and for some
reason, the
nvidia-drivers keep trying to pull a gentoo-sources. Here's the output of
`emerge -vpt nvidia-drivers`:
[ebuild U ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-96.43.09 [96.43.07] USE="gtk
-acpi
-custom-cflags% (-multilib)" 7,067 kB
[ebuild N ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r7 USE="-build
-symlink" 0 kB
nvidia-drivers doesn't depend on gentoo-sources, but on
virtual/linux-sources. That means you have to emerge either
gentoo-sources or vanilla-sources. And I don't think you should be
messing with /etc/portage/profile/package.provided that way :P Just
emerge vanilla-sources.
