Hi, I’ve successfully compiled a custom kernel image on Gentoo x64, but grub menù doesn’t seem to show up at boot, so I can’t choose my kernel.
I think this is an important task to solve. Kernel should be kept up to date to prevent security and bug issues, also standard kernel is not compatible with an up to date gentoo, since latest stable udev needs a kernel option which is disabled by default: result is no network at next reboot after upgrade.
thanks

Any word on custom kernels yet? Could you possibly look for possible kernels in the /boot directory of each droplets filesystem? Or wherever other distros might put it.

It’s confirmed by many links/sources, for example this one https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/how-can-i-boot-my-compiled-kernel-image-on-gentoo where they say “Custom kernels are planned however there is no ETA yet”. <br> <br>Please contact digitalocean support and tell them that you need to run cloudlinux kernel. We would work with Digitalocean support to make it possible. <br> <br>– <br>Sincerely, <br> <br>Leonid Kanter <br>Release manager, 3rd line support <br>Cloud Linux Inc. <br>http://www.cloudlinux.com <br>skype:lkanter
