Description Alec Warner (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2005-04-11 08:21:10 UTC 
Moving the 2.6 as default breaks goodness on sparc64.  Hardened-sources where a 2.4 kernel is available are profile masked.  On sparc, this should not be the case.  2.4 is the only *stable* kernel available, especially on SMP systems where 2.6 will hang due to a bug that hasn't been fixed yet.  Either unmask those in the sparc64 subprofile or add a 2.4 subprofile for sparc, your choice really.

Ahh I found the problem with help from seemant.
/usr/portage/profiles/selinux/packages has 
>=sys-kernel/hardened-sources-2.6.0

This is the part that is bad for sparc.  Is there a reason why this was done and can it be changed for sparc64?
