As of today (3/28/2005), emerge -uDpv world output was [ebuild U ] sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.8.1-r2 [2.4.22-r1] 34,870 kB [ebuild NS ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r4 -build -doc -symlink (-ultra1) 36,460 kB I never had a 2.6 kernel installed (and I don't want it now). My current kernel is (uname -a): Linux hooverix 2.4.28-gentoo-r8 #1 SMP Mon Mar 7 13:21:55 EST 2005 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux This problem must have emerged, so to speak, sometimes since late last week. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a working up-to-date 2.4 kernel system 2. emerge -uDpv world Actual Results: Attempts 2.6 stuff installation Expected Results: Keep updating 2.4 kernel and headers as needed.
This is now the default for a Gentoo system. You can revert back to 2.4 by adjusting your make.profile link to default-linux/x86/2005.0/2.4
if you have any problems with 2005.0/2.4 then please let me know as this is a genuine issue for rel-eng/me. However, hopefully as Sven mentioned, it should now work fine.
