Here is something odd about my Gentoo install. Shortly after running genkernel, I run "emerge coldplug." I get this message:
!!All ebuilds that could satisfy "coldplug" have been masked !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - sys-apps/coldplug-20040902 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the merge man page or section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook
