This script streamlines the process of manually upgrading your kernel in Gentoo Linux. It's designed for users who prefer to compile their kernel separately from system updates, rather than automatically during emerge -avuDN @world.
This tool is ideal for Gentoo users who:
- Build their kernel from source using
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources - Prefer manual control over kernel compilation timing
- Want to simplify the kernel upgrade process
Note: This script is not intended for use with genkernel or distribution kernels.
- GRUB Bootloader (config path:
/boot/grub/grub.cfg) - Dracut initramfs generator
