Hi. I wanted to try out the new tuxonice kernel package, but hit a roadblock, as seen below. I'll post my kernel build config, build log and emerge --info as an attachment (I hope that's the correct method). Thanks!

Take a look at this patch posted on linux kernel mailing list, it looks relevant:

Thanks, Wormo. I just installed tuxonice-sources-2.6.28-r3, and now it compiles and runs. Please close this bug, unless there's a reason to keep it open.

No, there's no reason for it to remain open.
