I am new to gentoo. This is my first install. It may be a dumb mistake that i am making. I am trying to upgrade kernel from 2.4.32-r1 to any of the 2.6 kernel but can't get that done. When i do 'emerge -pu sparc-sources' i don't get anything. I did change ACCEPT KEYWORD to include ~sparc. solaris150 home # emerge --info Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/sparc/sparc64/2005.1, gcc-3.3.6, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r2, 2.4.32-sparc-r1 sparc64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.32-sparc-r1 sparc64 sun4u Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.11 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.4.26-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="sparc ~sparc" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="sparc-unknown-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=v9 -mtune=ultrasparc" CHOST="sparc-unknown-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=v9 -mtune=ultrasparc" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="sparc X arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 crypt cups dlloader eds encode esd expat fbcon foomaticdb fortran gcc64 gdbm gif gnome gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib jpeg kde libwww mad mikmod motif mpeg ncurses nls ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python qt readline sdl spell ssl tcpd truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts vorbis xml2 xmms xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
sparc-sources-2.6 don't exist... Use gentoo-sources, vanilla-sources or whatever other kernel that has 2.6.x version :=)
I tried gentoo-sources and vanila-sources and got the same (no 2.6 kernel) results... can you, pls, guide me i am new to gentoo..... thanks. solaris150 home # emerge -puv gentoo-sources These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! Total size of downloads: 0 kB solaris150 home # emerge -puv vanila-sources These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "vanila-sources".
Please, be so kind and read the basic docs on working with portage (hint: they are not keyworded stable, you need to put them into /etc/portage/package.keywords) http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3
