22 Hi Frank,
23 I don't think the Gentoo devs pay much attention to that sort of
24 failure. I don't report them anymore.

26 My personal experience with major kernel revision jumps like this
27 is that it's best to give NVidia a few days and to watch their web
28 site for a new version. They typically update very quickly. (1-2 days)
