14 Please report it to the kernel maintainer. Anyways I don't think the
15 gs-sources is the one you want for your server, gs-sources is the one that
16 comes on the live-cd and contains all kinds of hardware drivers to make it
17 boot everywhere. It even contains ACPI and APM (Automatic Power Management)
18 drivers that make sure that the system will be unstable.
19 The kernels you are looking for are grsec-sources, selinux-sources,
20 vanilla-sources, wolk-sources, ac-sources and I'm quite tempted to recommend
21 development-sources. Do a "emerge -s sources" to get a brief description on
22 the various alternatives.
