you are telling that the wrong guy - I always use gentoo - or vanilla-sources, 
because I remember very well the problems of people using nitro/love sources 
bach in 04.

Oh, and back in 2003/2004 I tried a lot of different kernels - and believe it 
or not: at the end, the less patched, the better were the kernels. So I 
stayed with gentoo or vanilla, because the rest was not better or faster, 
only more instabil.

I am pretty much healed from straying around ;)
