Kernel-Updates in Entropy for 3.5?

Postby KelloggsFrosties » Fri Oct 10, 2008 12:12

Hi there,

as i am not too long into Sabayon and i haven`t found the information in the forum:

How is Sabayon handling Kernel-Updates? Are they updated via Entropy when a new Kernel has been released, or just in special cases, or just with a new Release of Sabayon?

If not: i guess that emerging a Kernel from Portage is not the easiest thing to do?

I am asking because i am really looking forward to 2.6.27 as it seems to contain the new ath5 which supports my eeePC and Notebooks Wireless ootb.

3.5 was released with .25 and now entropy has .26, so yes - entropy will handle the kernel upgrades

Kernel upgrade through portage is a piece of cake, wiki even has the complete howto

Great! Thank you for your reply. As english is not my native tongue: "piece of cake" means it is totally easy? Where i come from (Blackforrest, Germany), a piece of cake can be extremely hazardous to your health! ;)
