You know if that is possible? At the risk of maybe coming off as slightly rude (not my intention!) - why not? It is the simplest solution to make sure the kernels don't interfere with each other. You could try playing with the makefile I guess - there should be some sort of instruction in there to tell it where to put the kernel. I would have a look myself if I had a copy of the kernel stuff to hand.

[gentoo-user] Several arches installed, flag kernel automatically
Hi, I have here two gentoo systems one 32-bit and one 64-bit. To save space on my harddisk the mounts /home and /boot are used from both systems. Now I have the problem with the kernel version. Both systems running kernel 2.6.18-gentoo-r6. If I install now the kernel from the 64-bit system it overwrites the kernel from the 32-bit system. In the kernel config is a variable available LOCALVERSION to append some text to the kernel to prevent the overwrite. Is it possible to global define this variable e.g. in /etc/make.conf?

I assume you're using make install after building your kernel? I usually do a cp arch/[insert your arch here]/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-[version string] (and then one for the System.map) Would that do what you want? -- Ryan W Sims -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
