Thanks for your detail advice and link.
The 1st problem encountered is to untar the package as follows;
# mkdir /home/satimis/kernel downloaded patch-2.6.0-test8-bk1.bz2 patch-2.6.0-test8.bz2 from kernel.org
# cd /home/satimis/kernel # tar jxvf patch-2.6.0-test8.bz2 tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
# tar -jxvf patch-2.6.0-test8.bz2 tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
# tar jxvf patch-2.6.0-test8-bk1.bz2 tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
# tar -jxvf patch-2.6.0-test8-bk1.bz2 tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Could not proceed further. Kindly advise.
Thanks in advance.

From kernel.org The latest beta version of the Linux kernel is: *2.6.0-test8 <http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.0-test8.bz2>* Can I upgrade it from the tarball to be download from kernel.org site?
Please give me more information about which Gentoo forum. I have been
looking around for this topic.
Stephen,
Here's the linkd to the Official Gentoo furum- It's huge, and you get great info for anything imaginable.

Here's the link to a post I made on kernel 2.6.0-testx's, and installing it from vanilla source, with a step by step foolproof method, that never touches your present kernel setup.

Since you mentioned alsa sound, you need to compile alsa stuff directly into the kernel, not as modules. My .config alsa section from 2.6.0-test8-mm1 is shown below, but you might like to say "Y" to more items than I did, and in the subsequent sound sections, say "Y" for your particular hardware. Then you should emerge alsa-utils and probably alsa-mixer, but don't emerge the Gentoo alsa drivers, because the 2.6 kernel provides those itself.
