The mainline/Linus/kernel.org 2.6.22 kernel is always available from |
| 13 |
kernel.org. Gentoo's gentoo-sources kernel is described as "lightly |
| 14 |
patched", so the unpatched kernel.org kernel would probably work. I've |
| 15 |
always used mainline, here, and always handled the kernel myself as well, |
| 16 |
since I knew how to do it already in Mandrake, when I switched. |

If the Gentoo patches are needed or you want to use the ebuild, both it |
| 19 |
and the Gentoo patches should be available from the Gentoo source |
| 20 |
repository. |
