15 Obviously because I cut&pasted the beginning of `emerge --info` before I
16 rebooted the server, i.e. after the diskless stations booted OK. Besides, the
17 post was not about booting 2.6.8(.1) but about portage seemingly choking when
18 running `emerge d-s-2.6.8.1.ebuild`, or rather computing its digest.
19 Furthermore, you failed to notice the portage version is not the latest which
20 is why I posted that bit.
21 I think I do know how to upgrade a kernel and reboot a machine.
