1. Merge one of the 2.6 kernels - I used gentoo-dev-sources. |
| 2 |
2. Change the /usr/src/linux symlink to point to the /usr/src/2.6directory |
| 3 |
3. Cd /usr/src/linux and do a make menuconfig |
| 4 |
4. Go through the menu and select the options you want. I don't recommend taking the 2.4 .config and running make oldconfig on it. |
| 5 |
5. Exit menuconfig (save!) |
| 6 |
6. Run make && make modules_install |
| 7 |
7. Copy the bzImage to /boot - mount /boot first if it's not already. |
| 8 |
8. Set LILO or Grub up so that you have another kernel entry it can boot - I call mine Test. |

As for udev I went from 2.4 to 2.6 and just went with udev. Check the Gentoo docs for some docs on links to other docs on moving to udev. |
