Initially I emerged and used a gentoo-source IIRC kernel which worked

I then wanted to use the swsusp2 patch to the kernel. emerged a
package and in fact it was an entirely new kernel tree with the
patches included.
The swsusp2 patches in this tree are not at the latest level and I am
having problems (kernel oops) with this when suspending.
What is the correct way to deinstall this second kernel tree and if
possible emerge only the swsusp2 patches (I would know how to do that
manually of course).
You might just need to:
echo sys-kernel/suspend2-sources ~x86" >>/etc/portage/package.keywords
That will let you merge kernel 2.6.13 with suspend2 2.2-rc6 patches
instead of 2.6.12 with suspend2-2.1.9.9.
If you really need suspend2 2.2-rc7, then you can emerge
vanilla-sources, then apply the suspend2 patch yourself. You could also
try gentoo-sources if you want bootsplash and vesafb-tng, although the
suspend2 patches might not apply cleanly to that.
The only "problem" with this is that when you unmerge old kernel
sources, emerge will refuse to remove any patched, backup, or object
files, so you have to go delete the remaining files manually. But I
think you end up having to do that in any case, so this isn't really a
problem.
