Created attachment 19810 [details] An ebuild that works. Correct some wrong code.
i don't think this solution is a good one it compiles (emerge) it's own a package during startup
>i don't think this solution is a good one >it compiles (emerge) it's own a package during startup Sorry, i cant se the problem, the script isn't there before we emerge nvidia anyway, you youst compiles a new module if there isnt one for that kernel version.
I cannot say I like it either, but rather for the fact that it will create a president. Rather then make an rc-script that can handle multiple modules (flexible and be able to setup which modules to work for) if people really want this sort of thing.
Martin, is there any other module that works this way? Maby its better to have a script generate_all_custom_modules.sh executed after every genkernel command doing this. I personaly like "autogenerate after boot if realy needed" method best. This is a script, that i think shoud be included for the people that wants it, it is good for desktop people wondering why their X dont start. I have been emailing you before martin, and i appericiate your feedback. / Jimmy.
putting an emerge cmd into an init.d script is not the way to go ;) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 1477 ***
