Re: [gentoo-user] kernel disintegration SOS

if that message appears when i re-compiled my gentoo-gaming source then i 
suspect that the sound modules that i compiled earlier should have been 
removed.  which in my case would have been a good thing.

"make mrproper" is a thorough cleaning of the kernel tree - it wipes
out everything, including the .config file. It's sometimes necessary to
ensure that you don't have artifacts from old configurations... I can't
tell if it's the culprit in your case.
By way of background, "Mr. Proper" is the brand name in certain markets
(including Linus's native Finland) for a Procter & Gamble product known
in the US as "Mr. Clean".
