Unfortunately, I cannot test it, because my computer is out of luck (big thunderstorm, crappy power provider, not-so-smart owner). I can ssh into it and it all seems fine, but VT's other than tty1 go dim after 1 or 2 seconds (showing the greeting) and then go black; I can login blindly! I'm sure it has nothing to do with the patch, since I also booted the former kernel (for which the previous patch has been applied with success as expected) and it happens the same. Damaged UPS or MO, maybe... Anyway, I'll try again when I manage to fix or replace the computer and I'll report then. Thanks, Jorge Almeida P.S. I just noticed you mention gentoo-sources. I use the vanilla kernel from kernel.org. Could that be a problem?
