Gentoo kernel stabilization

how Gentoo kernel stabilization work

Kernel ebuilds referenced in the Handbook have certain exemptions from the usual stabilization policy, so stabilization requests are normally only filed for the first version in a long term stable branch (subsequent versions can be stabilized at the discretion of the maintainer).

First, test all available kernel options:
user $cd /usr/src/example-sources-1.2.3
user $make allyesconfig
user $make # add '-j' as appropriate for the hardware

If that succeeds, build with a normal kernel configuration:
user $make distclean
user $make menuconfig
user $make
user $make modules_install # if you use modules

After reboot, check dmesg for anything strange and use the system as normal, trying to get a bit of uptime.

If stabilizing a special feature variant, try to test relevant features.
