Due to the nature of the error messages, I'm assuming for now that virtualcd needs to be updated for 2.6 kernels. # emerge virtualcd Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) app-cdr/virtualcd-0.4 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) virtualcd-0.4.tar.bz2 >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking virtualcd-0.4.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/virtualcd-0.4/work >>> Source unpacked.

yes, i know, ive been working on updating it to 2.6 ... the blockdriver has changed consideribly and as such, the module needs an overhaul ;)
Thanks SpanKY, Your efforts are always appreciated. :-)
fixed in cvs
