Now I am using 2.6.38 kernel, but would like to try 2.6.39 and the thing is that I would like to have tp_smapi and phc-intel modules in both kernels. Is it possible to have it without any serious hacking? I have only 3 ideas how I could achieve that: * Making a custom ebuild, which would build the modules, but install itself as a different package depending on the kernel version (eg tp_smapi-2.6.39-gentoo)? * Making a custom ebuild, which would build the modules for all kernel versions in one go... (is this possible?) * patching the gentoo-sources each time. Is any of these solutions sensible? Cheers, Ignas
