You don't need to emerge vanilla-sources. Also, that is exactly the use of /etc/portage/profile/package.provided With a little bit of testing, I was unable to get vanilla-sources of any version to work with package.provided, but it works fine if actually installed. Adding sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.24 to your package.provided should prevent it from trying to grab new ones. It did for me. :) I blame the virtuals file. -Steve
