Kernel/it

Il Kernel Linux è il cuore del sistema operativo e offre un'interfaccia ai programmi per l'accesso all'hardware. Il kernel contiene la maggior parte dei device drivers.

USE flags
To create a kernel, it is necessary to install the kernel source code first. The Gentoo recommended kernel sources for a desktop system are, of course,. These are maintained by the Gentoo developers, and patched to fix security vulnerabilities, functional problems, as well as to improve compatibility with rare system architectures.

Alternative kernels
Ci sono molti kernel alternativi nell'albero del Portage:


 * - I sorgenti del kernel Linux ufficiali, senza patch. Nota che siccome sono lasciati come stanno, non sono supportati dagli sviluppatori Gentoo.

Sources overview

 * Kernel sources overview: Most, if not all, of the kernel sources packages available in Gentoo are detailed in the kernel sources overview article. Navigate there for further knowledge on specific kernel sources available in the Portage tree.

Configuration help

 * Automatic configuration: genkernel is a tool to used to automate the build process of the kernel and initramfs. The goal of genkernel is to help users through the kernel building process.


 * Manual configuration: Manual configuration enables the user, with some effort, to create a custom-fit kernel configuration.


 * Gentoo kernel configuration guide: Gentoo's kernel configuration guide.


 * Aggiornamento: Indicazioni per l'aggiornamento di un kernel utilizzando una configurazione esistente.


 * Rimozione: Indicazioni per rimuovere completamente i vecchi kernel.


 * Kernel Seeds:Like the option above, Kernels Seeds help the user, with some effort, create a custom-fit kernel configuration using an existing as a base.


 * 2.4 to 2.6 Migration: Migration guide from Linux 2.4 to Linux 2.6. Since the kernel has significantly moved past 2.6, these migration steps are no longer relevant, but may be useful for helping administrators understand.
