Got a couple warnings during kernel make: Warning: inter-module ... is deprecated. (Actually there were three such messages. Not sure where I'd find them after the make is over, but just wondering if there is something in the config as of 2.6.10 that I should change before installing this.

If you'd like, you can run 'make menuconfig' after oldconfig to see if there's any new bleeding egde-super options that you might be interested to activate. > I didn't know that the emerge was only for 2.4 kernels.
