Der Linux Kernel ist der Kern des Betriebssystems und bietet mit einer Schnittstelle Programmen Zugriff auf die Hardware. Der Kernel enthält die meisten der Gerätetreiber.

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
Es gibt viele alternative Kernelquellen im Portage Baum:


 * - Die offiziellen, unveränderten Linux Kernelquellen. Beachte, da sie in diesem Zustand belassen werden und keine weiteren Patches enthalten, sie von den Gentoo Entwicklern nicht unterstützt werden.

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.


 * Upgrade: Schritte, um zu einem neuen Kernel zu wechseln unter Verwendung einer bestehenden Konfiguration.


 * Deinstallation: Schritte, um alte Kernel vollständig zu entfernen.


 * 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.
