If so, why did it work before? Perhaps they fixed a kernel bug that allowed it to work despite the difference? It wouldn't surprise me. I've noticed that kernel config flags and "required ones" noted in Gentoo documents get out of sync rather quickly and they are fast-moving targets. Go ahead and re-configure the kernel with the requested flags. -- G.Wolfe Woodbury
