10 Better would be to change profile to a 2.4 kernel profile. If you look
11 in /usr/portage/profiles/... you will see that (probably) under your
12 current profile there will be a 2.4 directory
13 e.g. /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/2.4/ which not only
14 sets kernel to 2.4 but also makes other changes to stay compatible e.g.
15 setting headers to 2.4 and setting dev-manager to devfsd instead of
16 udev. So switch your /etc/make.profile symlink to a 2.4 profile and all
17 will be happy. The wonders of Gentoo stackable profiles, indeed.
