9 The second is correct.

11 Ebuilds that install kernel modules do not remove the old kernel
12 modules from /lib. Ever. It is true for Nvidia, it is true for ATI
13 drivers, and it is true for kqemu. ;)
14
15 But equery f kqemu will no longer show the previous kqemu module.
16
17 So just point /usr/src/linux to the right kernel, and
18 emerge --oneshot kqemu
19
20 Is it really that important that all versions of the kernel module
21 gets listed in equery f?
