The official party line from Gentoo/AMD64 is that if you use anything else than gentoo-sources, you are on your own and your bug reports will be ignored. vanilla-sources may be tolerated since gregkh&co seem to be doing a good job on the 2.6.x.y series. Using nitro or ck or love kernel may very well break your system and the breakage may not be fixed by simply switching back to gentoo-sources since it may break anything you have compiled or the content of your hard disk. If you want to try any of those highly experimental features, you are on your own. I would personally advise you pick only the specific features you want and apply them to gentoo sources so you can track down fast what breaks if you want to help debugging. --=20 Olivier Cr=C3=AAte tester@gentoo.org Gentoo Developer x86 Security Liaison --=20 gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
