I'm too far behind for this. A search for "vanilla-sources", another supposedly "easier" alternative, led me to kernel.org and 2.6.16, a patch.
You have sucessfully build a kernel, you only forgot to set some options at the bootloader, you don't need other sources, you just need to set you kernel up. There's no easy alternative as long as you don't read the manual of your current alternative.
Can a patch fix an ailing kernel or is only to make an older one up-to-date?
A patch is usually to fix, else it would be an upgrade. Gentoo sources are specially patched vanilla-sources, if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, read the manual, set the bootloader and be happy. -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
