There are several packages that need re-emerging after updating or reconfiguring your kernel, such as x11-drm, [ati|nvidia]-drivers, captive, ndiswrapper, and possibly others. I usually forget to re-emerge those and wonder why my system keeps bugging me one way or the other. Manually emerging all needed packages is not a prefered way as one can forget packages that actually need to be rebuilt. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rebuild kernel 2. reboot 3. watch error messages flying by :)
emerge sys-kernel/module-rebuild

(In reply to comment #1) > emerge sys-kernel/module-rebuild sorry, didn't find that one. actually, it doesn't do all I need, does it? nx6110 ~ # module-rebuild list ** Packages which I will emerge are: =media-libs/svgalib-1.9.21-r1 =net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.5 =sys-fs/fuse-2.4.1-r1 nx6110 ~ # what about x11-drm and captive? nx6110 ~ # module-rebuild populate ** Module already exists in moduledb. ** Setting media-libs/svgalib-1.9.21-r1; rebuild=1. ** Module already exists in moduledb. ** Setting net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.5; rebuild=1. ** Module already exists in moduledb. ** Setting sys-fs/fuse-2.4.1-r1; rebuild=1. ** Adding x11-base/x11-drm-20050502 to moduledb. ** Adding x11-base/x11-drm-20051028 to moduledb. nx6110 ~ # module-rebuild list ** Packages which I will emerge are: =media-libs/svgalib-1.9.21-r1 =net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.5 =sys-fs/fuse-2.4.1-r1 =x11-base/x11-drm-20050502 =x11-base/x11-drm-20051028 nx6110 ~ # we won't install both versions of drm, do we?!?
