Thank you for the fast answer. I looked into the file 
"/usr/src/linux/.config". There is no variable CONFIG_DLM in it. Also 
with a "make menuconfig" I did not find a possibility to select it.

I redirected the output of an emerge into a file with the following command:

emerge sys-cluster/dlm-kernel >& test.out

The full test.out can be found at the following address

machine: ftp.dkrz.de
login     : anonymous
passwd : your Email
cd /pub/Outgoing/stefan_bauer

But, I think, the most important lines are the following:

 >>> Merging sys-cluster/dlm-kernel-1.03.00 to /
--- /cluster/
 >>> /cluster/dlm.ko

If this is a bug, please let me know how I write a bug report - I never 
did this before :-) .

Thank you very much :-) and best regards,
