38 Hmm. It worked for me.
39 I got hit by this bug this morning. 2.6.8 was not in portage yet, so I renamed
40 the d-s-2.6.7.ebuild to 2.6.8
41 NFS did not work and my diskless did not boot obviously.
42 I just renamed d-s-2.6.7.ebuild to d-s-2.6.8.1.ebuild,
43 ran ebuild d-s-2.6.8.1.ebuild digest
44 Portage downloaded the tarball OK
45 emerge d-s... OK
46 make oldconfig
47 make menuconfig to check things out
48 make
49 diskless boots OK on NFS (still 2.6.5 on server)
50 Installed 2.6.8.1 on server as well
51 All is working as expected
52

54 # emerge --info
55 Portage 2.0.50-r8 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r0, 2.6.5)
