fstab (dirt simple):
/dev/sda1   /boot        ext2    defaults,noatime     0 2
/dev/sda2   none         swap    sw		      0 0
/dev/sda3   /         	 ext4    defaults,noatime     0 1
/dev/sda4   /usr/local   ext4    defaults,noatime     0 1
/dev/cdrom  /mnt/cdrom   auto    noauto,user          0 0
shm         /dev/shm     tmpfs   nodev,nosuid,noexec  0 0
none        /proc        proc    defaults             0 0

OK, the 3 /lib/module/<kernel> dir permissions have me stumped
as to why/how they could get different perms:

drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K Jan 16 16:13 3.10.25-gentoo
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Jan 28 14:52 3.13.0-gentoo-r1
drwx------ 3 root root 4.0K Feb  4 09:17 3.13.1-gentoo

chmod 755 3.13.1-gentoo (that's fixed)

cd 3.13.1-gentoo/

and viola, still the problem exists. All and I can think of
is something in how the kernels  are build (grub2)...?

I even pulled the make oldconfig script redid every thing and
I have the same problem.

I'm scratcing my head on this, as google offers little useful, that
I can find...........
