Gentoo's gentoo-sources kernel is described as "lightly patched", so the unpatched kernel.org kernel would probably work. I've always used mainline, here, and always handled the kernel myself as well, since I knew how to do it already in Mandrake, when I switched. If the Gentoo patches are needed or you want to use the ebuild, both it and the Gentoo patches should be available from the Gentoo source repository. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
