+From the 2005.0 release of Gentoo Linux, the default kernel is the latest 2.6
+series kernel. The default profile of the system is picked up from
+<path>/etc/make.profiles</path> which on 2005.0 or above would be a symlink to
+<path>/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0</path> under which various
+important settings are taken care of. 
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you're using a 2.4 profile, please change it to one that supports a 2.6
+kernel by doing the following.
 </p>
