10 Then, again it seems all 2.6 serial kernel are marked by package.mask
11
12 - sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.19 (masked by: package.mask)
13 # Gustavo Zacarias <gustavoz@g.o>
14 # We mask core 2.6 stuff to avoid bootstrap issues
15
16 Do people on this list use 2.6 kernel? I currently have two problems
17 related to kernel that made me wish to try 2.6
18
19 I. the RAID bus controller "VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6421 IDE RAID
20 Controller" do not work even if all IDE controller drivers are
21 compiled as module on 2.4.32-sparc-r2 sparc-sources kernel. I
22 hope by installing new kernel there will be better driver
23 support and thus is looking forward to install new kernel
24 II. the keyboard sucks
