The "-osmp" indicates a "local version". The proper source for your
kernel is 2.6.22-r2.
If you grep your .config, you'll see the "-osmp" text.

Not sure if it's relevant, but all ati-driver ebuilds after 8.552-r3
have a kernel version check and won't build with 2.6.29 or newer. The
check is in the following lines:
if kernel_is ge 2 6 29; then
die "${P} is not yet compatible with 2.6.29 kernels. See bug #264021."
fi
So, for the time being, I'm sticking with 2.6.28 and abandoning efforts
to use 2.6.30.

David
