Install Guide: Install a Kernel
| Install Guide, Chapter 13 | < Prev | Next > |
Funtoo Linux stage3's include a pre-built debian-sources kernel to make installation faster and easier. To see what kernel version is pre-installed, type:
chroot # emerge -s debian-sources Searching... [ Results for search key : debian-sources ] [ Applications found : 1 ] * sys-kernel/debian-sources Latest version available: 5.9.6_p1 Latest version installed: 5.9.6_p1 Size of files: 118,723 kB Homepage: https://packages.debian.org/unstable/kernel/ Description: Debian Sources (and optional binary kernel) License: GPL-2
Firmware
At this point it is wise to emerge the latest sys-kernel/linux-firmware package, because various drivers rely on firmware blobs and instructions. Hardware like Wi-Fi cards, graphic cards, network cards, and others will not work properly or at all if firmware is not available. If using the stage3 image, perform the following to install it. linux-firmware will be already installed if using the gnome image:
chroot # emerge -av linux-firmware
