Hello all,
Usually on gentoo when gentoo-sources gets updated, updating the kernel
went as follows:
eselect kernel set {new kernel}
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
and then there was a totally clean config which I would then customize
for the specific setup.
On one box I am currently running 3.1.6-gentoo
When I start make menuconfig for 3.2.1-gentoo-r2 it would appear as if
it got my current config from somewhere, eg local version.
Is this a new feature?
To make sure of this I unistalled all gentoo-sources pkgs, deleted
everything /usr/src/linux*
installed the latest gentoo-sources
yet it still seems to find the current config somewhere
Anyway, just wondering,,

Where does the /usr/src/linux symlink point to? Here's mine:
$ ls -la /usr/src/

and I made sure that its a completely clean install of gentoo-sources
The only thing I can currently think of is maybe the kernel config files
in /boot?
# ls -l /boot/
