You don't need to emerge vanilla-sources. Also, that is exactly the use |
| 18 |
of /etc/portage/profile/package.provided |

With a little bit of testing, I was unable to get vanilla-sources of any |
| 21 |
version to work with package.provided, but it works fine if actually |
| 22 |
installed. |

Adding sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.24 to your package.provided should |
| 25 |
prevent it from trying to grab new ones. It did for me. :) I blame the |
| 26 |
virtuals file. |
