Of course, 2.4 kernels are technically broken because they dont support alsa, and this is fixed in other profiles with the inclusion of a 2.4 (or 2.6) sub profile. However.. if nothing actually works with alsa, then I dont see the problem in that case of making the profile default mips-sources. if it happens to install 2.4 sources, then so be it. it might be a technically incorrect provide.. but nothing else can fill it any better. At least at this moment in time. If it were me, thats what I would do. But of course, this change doesn't really make any difference to mips one way or the other. -- Role: Gentoo Linux Kernel Lead Gentoo Linux: http://www.gentoo.org Public Key: gpg --recv-keys 9C745515 Key fingerprint: A0AF F3C8 D699 A05A EC5C 24F7 95AA 241D 9C74 5515 Web: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x9C745515 -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
