Recommendations are just that: recommendations. You can take them or
leave them. :)
And I have to agree with Holly on this one: it's a

It will, provided the existing kernel sources were emerged. Portage only
tracks software installed by i
Thanks James and Qian,
But doesn't this conflict with the advice given in kernel-upgrade.xml, which
says:
The only situation where this is appropriate is when upgrading from one Gentoo
kernel revision to another. For example, the changes made between
gentoo-sources-2.6.9-r1 and gentoo-sources-2

Easier solution: copy the .c

emerge --update world should install the new kernel sources for you.
Did you do a emerge --sync
Thanks,
Thats what wasn't clear to me. I assume this is a special case in that
an 'update world' won't install new kernel sources by default?
I assume that the separate kernel source trees means that a new
kernel can be build in parallel to an older one, and the active
kernel chosen at boot time.
P.S. See my other posts regarding trying to get USB to work for
my mobile for the inspiration behind wanting to update the kernel.
I think if you get to the stage of having to debug kernel code, it
is always worth at least trying the latest kernel first.

Thanks, but I am ok on configuring the kernels and then installing
them in /boot.
The thing which isn't clear to me is how I should get the 'linux-new_version'
directory installed on my system without downloading a whole new install
image and copying it across manually?
Is there a kernel release
