kernel.org still has a problem with ftp/file mirroring. That's why we haven't bumped vanilla-sources yet. Hopefully, they'll fix this soon.

gentoo-sources-3.0.6 is in Portage and includes both 3.0.5 and 3.0.6.

I don't think kernel.org does anything but git yet, and it's been down for over four weeks before that... I have sincere doubts that the mirrors will come up any time really soon.

I was hoping you would generate a patch and put it up on the Gentoo mirrors, since the changes seem to be pretty significant.

In the mean time, if anyone wants to upgrade without waiting, but does not know how:

# cd /usr/src
# git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-3.0.6
# cd linux-3.0.6
# git checkout origin/linux-3.0.y

and then continue the steps as normal (eselect kernel, copy config, etc.)
