But I got a scary security warning. So the plan is: 1. Go through make menuconfig. 2. Make kernel and modules. 3. Install kernel and modules. 4. Configure bootloader. 5. Disconnect ethernet cable. 6. Boot into new system. 7. Emerge gentoo-sources (assuming that this actually works better in the new system, without chroot). 8. Copy over .config. 9. Make oldconfig. 10. Make kernel and modules. 11. Install kernel and modules. 12. Configure bootloader (add Gentoo kernel). 13. Boot into the Gentoo kernel. 14. Configure bootloader (remove Vanilla kernel). 15. Remove Vanilla kernel and modules. 16. Unmerge vanilla-sources. 17. Reconnect ethernet cable. Yes, I created ext4 partitions. Maybe that was stupid. I should have stuck to ReiserFS 3.6 which has worked so well on the old system for over 5 years. But at least I made /boot ext2 as usual.

There's gotta be some other versions of gentoo-sources that does not hang at that patch. Else try another branch of the sources?
