22 Try this:
23
24 emerge -av =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.28-r9
25
26
27 Don't forget to add
28
29 >sys-kernel-2.4.28-r9
30
31 to /etc/portage/package.mask, or Portage will keep trying to upgrade
32 you. If there's a 2.4-series upgrade, that will also be blocked, but you
33 are likely to be keeping an eye open for any such updates, and can
34 adjust your package.mask accordingly.
