I am using gentoo-sources-2.4.28-r9 on an AMD K6-II 500MHz. When emerging rt2500, I get: * Determining the location of the kernel source code * Found kernel source directory: * /usr/src/linux * Found sources for kernel version: * 2.4.28-gentoo-r9 * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options: * SMP Processors and Kernels are currently not supported * Please check to make sure these options are set correctly. * Failure to do so may cause unexpected problems. * Once you have satisfied these options, please try merging * this package again. SMP is not enabled in the kernel config. I suspect this is a problem with the kernel-mod eclass, but I can't see where.

I do not think that this module works on 2.4 kernels. But I am happy if you can suggest a patch to make it work. Your current problem should be solveable by commenting out the CONFIG_CHECK variable in the ebuild. Why are you using a 2.4 kernel anyway?
does the ebuild with CONFIG_CHECK commented out work for you?
