You are not alone if having "issues" with this kernel. When I tried to
run it recently, I noticed a serious slow down in KDE, especially when
logging into KDE. My usual login time is about 7 to 8 seconds but with
this kernel, try about 30 seconds. My mouse was "jerky" and even
Seamonkey was very slow to switch tabs. Nothing changed but the
kernel.
Check if you're using a graphics driver that needs its modules
recompiled after a kernel upgrade or else it either disables
acceleration or falls back to the VESA or FB driver (slow).
I didn't test to long because it was so annoying.
I used make oldconfig and my old kernel config as a starting point. Did
you happen to do the same? Maybe it should be done from scratch? Some
conflict or something?
Thoughts?
I never needed to do 'make oldconfig'. After emerging a new kernel, I
do "make menuconfig" (or xconfig (Qt) or gconfig (Gtk)) and everything
is already configured like the currently running kernel. I think this
requires the following options enabled though (General setup):
<*> Kernel .config support
[*] Enable access to .config through /proc/config.gz
I think it's on by default.
