6 Did you check if the files are really gone?

15 The '---' mean that no action was taken and the following word gives the
16 reason, in this case CONFIG_PROTECT (at least it should be this way and
17 for me it is).

22 If the modules are indeed gone, I'd say it is a bug in emerge or
23 portage.

28 For me the switch to 2.6.14 went without much problems and I did use
29 module-rebuild. My modules are still there for 2.6.13-r5. Most of
30 the problems were my own fault, I decided to cleanup my kernel config
31 and deselected too much... Except for a problem with the owner-module
32 for iptables, it no longer supports cmd-owner, pid-owner or sid-owner
33 although the help still says it does, you have to look at dmesg to find
34 out. But this is a minor problem which I'll solve when needed. So,
35 enough of my ramblings they don't help you.
