Well, if you knew what was causing it, then you wouldn't need to report a bug as you could just fix it yourself :P Quite the opposite! Sure, file a bug if you can reproduce the problem and you don't know the cause, but even better is when you *do* know the cause. This informs others of the problem, and saves them going through all the same diagnosis steps as you, but also allows the devs to fix it via ebuid dependencies, or whatever. Stroller.

Yeah, I was half joking. The point was that not filing a bug because you don't know what the problem is is akin having the check engine light on your car go on but not taking it in to service because you don't know why the check engine light is on. As far as diagnostics. You can provide additional information, if they ask you and tell you how (the same way you would if you were taking your car in). There's really no reason *not* to report something that you know is wrong, in my opinion anyway. Even if it's not enough information to fix it, at least other people are aware that there is a problem.
[gentoo-user] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.0 and oldconfig
Howdy, I noticed the new kernel in the tree. Anybody know whether make oldconfig will work when coming from a 2.6.39 series kernel? Since I'm having issues right now, I wouldn't mind trying to new and improved, hopefully, version. I just had a thought, what are the odds the nvidia drivers are ready for this shiney new beast? Thoughts? Dale :-) :-)

Doing make oldconfig worked for me (there are some new options, though).

I know sometimes when there is a major update oldconfig don't work or it can have a issue or two to work out, after you ruin your brain trying to figure it out of course. Thanks again. Dale :-) :-)

Thoughts? Dale Worked for me. There's nothing very different about 3.0 vs 2.6.X. It's just a decision to start using new numbers. I'm writing you from my laptop which is now running 3.0.0 with nvidia-drivers-275.19. Seems to be working fine - MArk
