A problem I often have after a big update is emerge -p --depclean tells me it is going to remove my running kernel.
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources selected: 2.6.26-r4 protected: none omitted: 2.6.25-r8 2.6.27-r10 dragonfly ~ # uname -a Linux dragonfly 2.6.26-gentoo-r4 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Dec 9 11:08:39 PST 2008 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux dragonfly ~ # My general reaction is to remove packages by hand at this point but today I have 30-40 and would like to protect this kernel source. Is there a generaic way to *always* protect the kernel that is currently running? Thanks, Mark
