To quote the einfo text that is shown when you install this kernel: |
| 18 |
This kernel is not supported by Gentoo due to its unstable and |
| 19 |
experimental nature. If you have any issues, try a matching |
| 20 |
vanilla-sources ebuild -- if the problem is not there, please |
| 21 |
contact the upstream kernel developers at http://bugme.osdl.org |
| 22 |
and on the linux-kernel mailing list to report the problem so it |
| 23 |
can be fixed in time for the next kernel release. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Does that seem acceptable? |
