Current linux kernel full#

Linux firmware - is a package distributed alongside the Linux kernel that contains firmware binary blobs necessary for partial or full functionality of certain hardware devices.Kernel/Migrate 2.4 to 2.6 - Since the Linux kernel codebase has significantly moved past 2.6, these migration steps are no longer relevant, but may be useful for helping administrators understand.Kernel/IKCONFIG support - Enabling In- kernel Config ( IKCONFIG) support for the Linux kernel enables the inspection of kernel configuration for running kernels.Genkernel - a tool created by Gentoo used to automate the build process of the kernel and initramfs.fwupd - a daemon that provides a safe, reliable way of applying firmware updates on Linux.has a nicely formatted list of available kernel command-line parameters in their admin guide. See Gentoo's Kernel/Command-line parameters article for more details. This can aid in troubleshooting the kernel at boot time, to blacklist a certain module that should not loading, etc. When booting from a bootloader, the Linux kernel can accept command-line parameters to change its behavior. Troubleshooting In-kernel configuration support Removal Removal Steps to completely remove old kernels.

Current linux kernel upgrade#

Upgrade Upgrade Steps to upgrade to a new kernel using an existing configuration. Kernel command-line parameters Describes some commonly useful command-line parameters which can be passed to the kernel at boot time for troubleshooting or issue correction. Kernel optimization Describes various optimizations for the kernel, like performance. Managing kernel modules Kernel modules are object files that contain code to extend the kernel.

Kernel security Instructions for hardening the kernel. Gentoo kernel configuration guide Gentoo's kernel configuration guide.

Current linux kernel manual#

Manual kernel configuration Manual configuration enables the user, with some effort, to create a custom-fit kernel configuration for any system. The goal of genkernel is to help system administrators through the kernel build process. Root # emerge -search Managing the kernel Configuration Automatic kernel build genkernel is a tool used to automate the build process of the kernel and initramfs. For users not interested in configuring their own kernel from scratch, these kernels can get things up and running quicker. These kernels come with a default configuration that should "just work" for most systems. emerge -avuDN and the only manual step is to have the bootloader use the new kernel. Kernel updates are performed when updating the system (i.e. These kernels are compiled (if needed) and installed with just an emerge command, like any other package, which can lessen the administrative burden.

Current linux kernel install#

The distribution kernel project provides packages to install and manage kernels through Portage.

Its stable versions follow the long term stable (LTS) kernels from upstream. When manually compiling kernel sources, or using Genkernel to automate some of the process, Gentoo recommends the sys-kernel/gentoo-sources package for most users. The sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin can be kept around in case of issues booting a custom kernel. Once a system is installed and functioning correctly, a different kernel may be selected if needed. When starting out, the gentoo-kernel-bin provides a quick and easy way to get a kernel up and running, while still providing a light, high performance kernel - just like any modern distribution would.
