Ebuilds that install kernel modules do not remove the old kernel modules from /lib. Ever. It is true for Nvidia, it is true for ATI drivers, and it is true for kqemu. ;) But equery f kqemu will no longer show the previous kqemu module. So just point /usr/src/linux to the right kernel, and emerge --oneshot kqemu Is it really that important that all versions of the kernel module gets listed in equery f?
