Description Hoess 2020-04-28 09:11:56 UTC 
On emerging the link /usr/src/linux should be updated so it points to the new /usr/src/linux-xxxx directory. Otherwise things like emerge @module-rebuild won't use the new kernel.
Comment 1 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2020-04-29 06:35:59 UTC 
It is updated if it's been pointing to gentoo-kernel already.  You need to update it yourself on the first install, as I don't want to break people's custom setups.
Comment 2 Hoess 2020-04-29 06:39:02 UTC 
Nice. Thank you for the clarification.
