Ok, here's where it gets weird, at least to me: The symlink points to the new sources. When I cd /usr/src/linux that's where I end up. I run make menuconfig, then make make modules_install. Then I copy bzImage to /boot/vmlinuz as always; take a quick look around; check that the new /lib/modules dir(there are now two, natch) is full of modular goodness, and reboot. At the grub prompt I run root, kernel /vmlinuz #the *new* kernel and boot as I always do. CERTAIN modules load. CERTAIN modules don't, predominantly having to do with communications hardware. The thing makes it to the prompt. I log in. Run uname. Yikes! It *is* _running_ the old kernel. BUT, it's _booting_ from the new! I checked! Puh-leeeze! Chew me out! Deny my competency!

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: modprobe looks in wrong dir
Francesco Talamona a gentiment tapote: You missed a step: make make modules make modules_install Ciao Francescoun I don't think so, when you run make, your compile kernel and modules. Then, you just have to run make modules_install. So make make modules_install is ok. But, I don't help maxim very much :-( regards --- Jacques -- ^ ^^^ ^ ( 0 0 ) \/ ---- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I don't see how this is possible. How did you check that it is booting the new kernel? Checking dmesg output would be the best way to verify... Possibly a stupid question, but are you sure that /boot is actually mounted (if it is a separate filesystem) when you copy the new kernel to it? -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

modules-update only updates for the running version. In order to update the new version, you could simply reboot to the new version.
