29 Did you change kernels after installing nvidia-kernel? If yes it is a
30 SLOT change and portage displays it as a upgrade. There are some patches
31 in bugzilla to display these different from upgrades, I hope one of them
32 gets incorporated into portage soon (SLOTs have more problems, but these
33 need time).
