Try epkginfo gentoo-sources That should give you a list of all available versions and their keyword status, among other info (as long as you have gentoolkit installed, tho older gentoolkits might not include it as I think it's a newer addition). It looks like there's no longer a gentoo-sources-2.6.22 version in the tree. I haven't synced in a few days so the list I get may be slightly outdated, but here, there's a version jump from 2.6.16 (which was maintained as a long-term stable version for quite some time) to 2.6.25, then at least one revision of each kernel from there thru 30, the latest. So it appears you'll need to upgrade to at least 2.6.25 if you stay with gentoo-sources, or switch to a different kernel package or grab the sources directly from upstream. Personally, since you're upgrading, I'd suggest the latest stable, 2.6.29- r5 it appears, so you won't need to worry about it for awhile. But of course, the farther you upgrade in one jump, the more various config options will have changed a bit, leaving you with more questions to try to figure out the answer to when you make oldconfig, or genkernel, or whatever you use. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
