Or just continue using the one that the current simlink points to, which
what I'm currently doing. the 2.4.20-r2 kernel was running. The only
directory in /lib/modules was the one for 2.4.20-r2. Even though portage
has downloaded the r5 and r6 sources, I've never built them and I've
never used them. 

I _could_ build r6 if there is a reason to do so, or I _could_ emerge -C
r5 and r6. Either would presumably suit me needs.

Unless someone can explain why having the other two directories on the
machine should cause a problem. I believe that I can have multiple
kernel source directories. I've had them on many machines before this
one.

Why will this fix the problem?

Thanks,
