Re: [gentoo-dev] new gentoo-sources kernels (r5+)

["Christopher J. PeBenito" <pebenito@ieee.org>]

I've been running grsec for the better part of a year.  I've used just a
vanilla kernel+grsec patch, and the gentoo-sources kernel (r2 and r7). 
I've never had problems.  I _always_ use custom, so I know exactly what
is on (like a previous poster suggested).  I've never ran into any
problems.  I would suggest doublechecking your configuration.  Also, you
may want to do a 'make mrproper' to make sure everything is playing
nice... that kills the config tho.  Or you may want to turn off grsec to
make sure your kernel config is ok, and then try turning it back on.

In general, I vote that grsec stay in the gentoo-sources kernel (if it
actually came to a vote :) ).
