how to "make clean" . plz help an og [slvd]

[cwc]

I usually do the following to compile a new kernel after I symlink the new source to /usr/src/linux
#make && make modules_install
#make install
#grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

new source
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 May 7 16:45 linux -> linux-6.6.30-gentoo

make install is not pushing my new kernel to /boot
And when I eselect kernel list it shows:
yoda /boot # eselect kernel list
Available kernel symlink targets:
[1] linux-6.6.21-gentoo
[2] linux-6.6.30-gentoo *


Once it was suggested I make clean or something similar. I can recall . I forgot

Please throw me a bone on cleaning this up.

Do I issue a "make clean" . And if so what does it do?

I forgot. Or rather I did not document my step and I search my posts with no avail.

I suspect that make clean is not relevant here.

We have had a number of recent threads where people removed installkernel, then were surprised that make install no longer behaved as it once did. Has that happened here? What is the output of emerge --pretend --verbose sys-kernel/installkernel ; grep sys-kernel/installkernel /var/log/emerge.log | tail -n20?

[cwc]

yoda ~ # emerge --pretend --verbose sys-kernel/installkernel ; grep sys-kernel/installkernel /var/log/emerge.log | tail -n20

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

You removed installkernel on March 13. Does this line up with when make install ceased working as you desire?

[cwc]

Thanks Hu,
I still did a make clean and it did clean some other stuff up.

But,
"emerge -av sys-kernel/installkernel"

solved the problem.

I wonder why sys-kernel/installkernel was "emerge --ask --depclean"
