Description Philipp Riegger 2006-07-03 10:45:07 UTC

I am forced to have >=sys-kernel/hardened-sources-2.6.13 in my package.mask because i use nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174-r2 (my graphic adapter is not supportet by newer versions of thst driver) and newer kernel versions don't work with that driver.

I just recognised hardened-sources-2.6.11-* hav vanished from the portage tree. Is it possible to have them back again?

No, it's not really possible to bring back kernels with tons of security holes just because some proprietary driver is broken. Go complain to nVidia, please.

Ok, thanks. Sorry for stealing your time.
