Gentoo you must manually update the kernel module dependencies using depmod

Manually signing modules. If you ever need to manually sign a kernel module, you can use the scripts/sign-file script available in the Linux kernel source tree. It requires four arguments: The hash algorithm to use, such as sha The private key location. The certificate (which includes the public key) location. The kernel module to sign.  · * Call stack: * www.doorway.ru, line Called pkg_setup * virtualbox-modulesebuild, line Called linux-mod_pkg_setup * www.doorway.ru, line Called check_kernel_built * www.doorway.ru, line Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die "Kernel sources need compiling first" * The die message: * Kernel sources need. Installing the kernel sources with USE="symlink" Setting the link with eselect; Manually updating the symbolic link; Installing the kernel sources with the symlink USE flag. This will make the /usr/src/linux point to the newly installed kernel sources. If necessary, it can still be modified later with one of the other two methods.

Which command should you run after installing a new kernel module to update the module dependency database? depmod. After modifying /etc/default/grub, you must run the grub2-mkconfig command before the changes are made to GRUB2. Not sure what you mean by auto-detection. The kernel autodetects everything, and if you use genernel then you don't need to manually compile the kernel. You will just have the kernel on the live cd that auto-detected everything when you booted it. Read the instructions on the bootloader carefully. * You must manually update the kernel module dependencies using depmod. * Adding module to moduledb. * Starting with the 3.x release new kernel modules were added.

Configuring your kernel. If you just want to use your Maemo kernel, simply copy /lib/modules/* from your Maemo partition into Gentoo (you'll need to exit the chroot first) and emerge the appropriate kernel sources: fremantle-sources, fremantle-power-sources, and meego-sources are available. That also means that if you upgrade the kernel, it deletes all the modules for the running kernel (one of my pet peeves) Gentoo: Pros: Packages can be customized on a global or per package level (Add wayland to everything possible, disable perl support in VIM.) Adding a patch to a package is as simple as putting the file in a specific folder. So everything is easier with a gentoo because you must have a gcc to run a gentoo, and so gcc is always there. But any ubuntu can use gcc too And you don't need cross-compile or anything, nor need to install a gentoo. Per example, you could just run a livecd (a gentoo one, 32bits version) from another computer to build the kernel.
