Compilar e Instalar

Ahora que el núcleo está configurado, es hora de compilarlo e instalarlo. Salga de la configuración e inicie el proceso de compilación:

root #make && make modules_install

Nota
Es posible habilitar construcciones en paralelo usando make -jX siendo X el número de compilaciones paralelas que se permite que lance el proceso de construcción. Es similar a las instrucciones anteriores sobre /etc/portage/make.conf con la variable MAKEOPTS.

When the kernel has finished compiling, copy the kernel image to /boot/. This is handled by the make install command:

root #make install

This command will copy the kernel image to /boot. If sys-kernel/installkernel is installed it will call /sbin/installkernel instead and delegate the kernel installation. Instead of simply copying the kernel to /boot, Installkernel installs each kernel with its version number in the file name. Additionally, installkernel provides a framework for automatically accomplishing various tasks relating to kernel installation, such as: generating an initramfs, building an Unified Kernel Image, and updating the bootloader configuration.
