Install Guide: Install a Kernel
| Install Guide, Chapter 13 | < Prev | Next > |
Funtoo Linux stage3's include a pre-built debian-sources-lts kernel to make installation faster and easier. To see what kernel version is pre-installed, type:
chroot # emerge -s debian-sources-lts Searching... [ Results for search key : debian-sources-lts ] [ Applications found : 1 ] * sys-kernel/debian-sources-lts Latest version available: 4.9.130 Latest version installed: 4.9.130 Size of files: 95,022 kB Homepage: https://packages.debian.org/stable/kernel/linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64 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
Modern Intel Chipsets
If you have a modern Intel system (Skylake, Coffee Lake or newer) then you may be better served by the newer debian-sources kernel
as it will have support for more modern Intel WiFi and integrated graphics chipsets. To use this kernel, you will want to perform the following steps:
chroot # echo "sys-kernel/debian-sources binary" > /etc/portage/package.use chroot # emerge -av debian-sources
Then, when you configure /etc/boot.conf in the next section, you will want to ensure that debian-sources (not debian-sources-lts) is selected as your default kernel.
