Hi everyone,

I am currently testing the new kernel on Limbo, and it is no good...

* I am on a AMD64 laptop with kernel 2.6.38 installed and ATI graphics
card, I use ati-drivers to make it work.

* I used kernel-switcher, because it is the future in kernel switching,
isn't it?

* kernel-switcher seems to do its job, the only suspect update is this
one:
>>  ## [D] [sabayon-limbo->sabayon-weekly] sys-fs/udev-167-r1|0
[168-r2|0]


I see very often that updated packages get replaced with sabayon-weekly
ones, is it correct?

* I reboot, in the boot menu I select kernel 2.6.39 and... Pitch black
screen, the laptop fan gets turned off after some time and no response
whatsoever, hard shutdown required.

* After 2 of the above, I decide to go with the old kernel and look into
it, the old kernel boots fine, but fails to load the ATI drivers, I
setup manually a wireless connection and download the ATI drivers for
the 2.6.38 kernel and everything is fine again... But wasn't the whole
point of ati-drivers/ati-userspace separation to be able to have more
versions of these drivers without any major hassle?
The ati-drivers for the 2.6.38 kernel replaced automatically the 2.6.39
ones.

I am now trying to update udev to the latest version, due to the black
screen for on the 2.6.39 kernel I cannot get any log...
