Yes, I certainly am. I get random hangs during boot (it would not complete a fsck twice, hung at module deps and again starting X) and I have sound problems. Alsa-driver, -libs and -utils refused to compile complaining of an unknown sound card snd-intel8x0. I installed alsa from source and now amixer refuses to save settings. I can unmute and get sound to work but sound is muted on reboot. Also kmail is very temperamental logging on to the mail server and downloads mail very jerkily. I am not impressed and am interested in recommendations for other versions of gentoo with the security patch. Also, how does one dispose of an unwanted kernel? Is it simply emerge -C?
