Jorge, OK. We get it. You don't like the message. However, no-one else seems to think it's ominous, that you are being told you are WRONG, and that someone else knows better for you. Here's the message again, for reference: * CONFIG_CGROUPS: is not set when it should be. * Please check to make sure these options are set correctly. * Failure to do so may cause unexpected problems. That's a template message, it contains "should" and "may", it does not contain "must" and "will" Continuing to emote here is going to accomplish exactly didly-squat and I assure you that it is highly likely nothing will change at all. Submitting a patch to gentoo-dev may accomplish the end you seek. Now, can you please get over yourself so we can move on? We get it, we really do. You don't like the message. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
