When i try to install openafs-kernel (dependency of net-fs/openafs-1.4.7) configure failes with "* Found kernel source directory: * /usr/src/linux * Could not detect kernel version. * Please ensure that /usr/src/linux points to a complete set of Linux sources" The kernel sources are definitively okay (configured + build). After that a tried a little hackery on /usr/portage/eclass/linux-info.eclass (I think this is where the error happens). I hardcode the proper values into the function get_version(). Then the configure proceeded, but stuck again later with that error: "... checking for linux kernel module build works... no configure: error: Fix problem or use --disable-kernel-module... See `config.log' for more details." Maybe this is an effect of this error at beginning configure: "Running aclocal am-wrapper: /usr/bin/aclocal-1.9 is missing or not executable. Please try emerging the correct version of automake. Running autoconf Running autoconf for configure-libafs Running autoheader autoheader-2.61: WARNING: Using auxiliary files such as `acconfig.h', `config.h.bot' autoheader-2.61: WARNING: and `config.h.top', to define templates for `config.h.in' autoheader-2.61: WARNING: is deprecated and discouraged. autoheader-2.61: autoheader-2.61: WARNING: Using the third argument of `AC_DEFINE' and autoheader-2.61: WARNING: `AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED' allows one to define a template without autoheader-2.61: WARNING: `acconfig.h': autoheader-2.61: autoheader-2.61: WARNING: AC_DEFINE([NEED_FUNC_MAIN], 1, autoheader-2.61: [Define if a function `main' is needed.]) autoheader-2.61: autoheader-2.61: WARNING: More sophisticated templates can also be produced, see the autoheader-2.61: WARNING: documentation." I've attached the config log for both cases.

It seems xen-sources-2.6.21 is hard masked, and the latest kernel officially supported by xen seems to be 2.6.18. Is this really an issue for you?
No feedback for some time now, closing.
