OK.

Yes, but if I keep my 3.4.x compiled kernel and I recompile modules in
Portage with 4.1, there will be problems, maybe (for example, the
vmmon module of vmware-player). Well, I think I'll recompile. I have
other reasons to do it.

Sure (I shouldn't have). I guess also programs not in portage will
have to be recompiled.

Thanks again,
