Looks pretty much linux-headers related IMHO, though i haven't looked much into it.

[Comment 1 Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) 2005-09-01 12:13:12 UTC]

=sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.11-r2 fixes it.
Doesn't mean it doesn't break other stuff tho...

[Comment 2 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) 2005-09-18 09:09:46 UTC]

These kernel headers have been marked stable, please reopen if you still have
problems.
