The ebuild for gentoo-dev-sources has a ewarn that users should compile in Character Devices -> 'Virtual Terminal', which either doesn't exist, or is somewhere else. IIRC, I did not check anything like that to get my working 2.6.0 kernel. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Fire up your favorite text editor and point it to the gentoo-dev-sources ebuild. 2. Look for the ewarn'ings at the end, and look at them. 3. Compare the to the info from 'make menuconfig'. Actual Results: Noticed at least one bad instruction making users more confused than needed about their new kernel. Expected Results: The ewarn should be fixed or removed.

Created attachment 23242 [details] Fixed ebuild I just commented out the line on the ebuild. I'm not sure about the other warnings, someone asked in #gentoo about it.
will double check into this tomorrow morning and fix.
fixed in portage
