Ok, 
so how my system determines which is the version it must use for
calculating dependencies?
Cause I did not have that source in /usr/src and I did have just my
current one... and emerge says:

Installed versions:  2.6.18(2.6.18)(02:42:26 PM 11/22/2006)(-build -symlink -ultra1)
                          2.6.19-r1(2.6.19-r1)(01:11:30 PM 01/11/2007)(-build -symlink -ultra1)
                          2.6.22(2.6.22)(03:14:16 AM 07/31/2007)(-build -symlink)

Why 2.6.19-r3 and not 2.6.28?¿
(gonna unmerge 2.6.18 and 2.6.22!!)

In fact, as it's my laptop and I have no much space, I only keep
current kernel source (for modules buid)...
But thanks for the tip.

Thanks,
