19 Use /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 instead of
20 /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 and link
21 /etc/modules.autoload appropriately.

26 USB mass-storage works fine here.
27 As does pcmcia-cs.

29 For the record, I have 6 machines (1 server and 5 desktop) running
30 smoothly since test6.
31
32 I have much more trouble with gnome 2.4 than with kernel 2.6.
33
34 My only trouble is that I recently lost acceleration for a voodoo3 card
35 (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33717)
36
37 my 2 cents.
38
39 I don't care if 2.6 is called development or vanilla.
40 But, in a couple of months, the guys from kernel will start 2.7 and if
41 development means something, a choice will have to be made then.
42
43 I think keeping 2 vanilla flavors could be the best.
