Tonight emerge -uD system -p wants to "upgrade" me to a 2.4 kernel!!! Well, portage this is a 2.6.x system - not 2.4 - duh! From what I found in the mail list archives and forums noone has really given a solution. Some say "what problem", others give reasons for it but the fact remains - why on a 2.6 system that has happily been running 2.6 for months does this new profile want to give me a 2.4 kernel. I did follow one suggest and symlink to default-linux/x86 directory but I'm afraid that will break something so I went back to 2004.0 for the symlink. And I am at portage 2.0.51.19 so that's good. In short - what do we have to do to upgrade to a current profile on 2.6 machines and get 2.6 gentoo-source updates, not 2.4. Thanks.
