Ok,
Cheers for your help guys! I have spent the week getting system/world up to date on my gentoo system and that included the kernel!
Unfortuntely the latest non-masked gentoo-sources kernel is 2.6.31-r7 which is what i now have are you certain it is .32 i need? I can get 2.6.32-r1 but it is masked currently.... anyone got an experience with this?
Cheers.
