Yeah, I must say, I was kinda surprised that anything worked at all with the 'wrong' headers for my kernel, but I guess that's the magic of linkers or somesuch. It's all too much for me.
Anyway, the followinh headers appear to be available :
media root # emerge -a linux-headers
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.8.1-r2
Do you want me to merge these packages? [Yes/No] n
Quitting.
media root #
Obviously, my system is running the 2.6.8, as emerge shows it as a 'R'e-emerge.
Ok, that's good info. So, as I've never done anything with the
linux-headers before, I'm unclear how that relates to the kernel and
when I should upgrade. Do the version numbers mirror those of the
kernel?
