Kernel/es

El núcleo Linux es el elemento principal del sistema operativo que ofrece una interfaz a los programas para acceder a los distintos elementos del sistema informático (hardware). El núcleo incorpora la mayor parte de los controladores de dispositivo (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
Hay varias fuentes del núcleo alternativas en el árbol Portage:


 * - The official, non-patched Linux kernel sources. These sources are left as is, they do not contain any additional patches and are therefore not supported by Gentoo support or developers.
 * - Gentoo sources with security enhancements.

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.


 * Configuración manual: La configuración manual permite al usuario, con algún esfuerzo, crear una configuración del núcleo adecada a sus necesidades.


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


 * Actualización: Pasos a seguir para actualizar a un nuevo núcleo utilizando una configuración ya existente.


 * Eliminación: Pasos a seguir parar eliminar núcleos antiguos.


 * 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.
