1 quickpg the existing  modules then try the remove/reinstall fix. You can
2 then use "emerge -K =package" or even a manually reinstall (by coping
3 them over the newer ones) to replace the modules if things don't work out.

5 I would think in your case needing to keep kernel specific modules
6 around this would be an attractive task to script keeping matching
7 modules with a kernel and swapping them in and out as necessary.
