Talk:Kernel/Configuration

Bug in Setup Section
/sbin/installkernel doesn't create the symlinks, it only updates them if they already exist.

The new kernel is installed into {directory}/vmlinuz-{version}. If a symbolic link {directory}/vmlinuz already exists, it is refreshed by making a link from {directory}/vmlinuz to the new kernel, and the prev iously installed kernel is available as {directory}/vmlinuz.old.

Maybe we should just quote the manpage? --Poncho (talk) 18:18, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

driver selection
no lspci -k | grep mod commands to tell users which drivers they need in their kernel. redirected for such a critical stage of building gentoo is painfull.
