I /think/ it might work, yes, the kernel doesnt link against libc (or
anything else for that matter), so I dont think compatibility is an issue.
The /boot/* stuff would be needed and /lib/modules, but I think thats
enough.
Whats the worst that could happen ;)

Steve,
I have not been that bold. would it work? At a minimum I'm fairly
sure that glibc and gcc itself are different versions. Right or wrong
my Gentoo box is updated almost daily to whatever the Gentoo gods
consider 'stable', which is not as stable as you and I would
necessarily call stable. Still, it's an interesting idea. Whatwoudl I
drage over? The kernel binary and all of /lib/modules/this-kernel? So, the question at hand is why should the
same kernel, built under
two different distro's, but run on the same machine, produce different
results. It's likely either what the compiler flags were, or what the
libraries were, or what was running in the background. (So I think...)
Have you tried just booting the planet built kernel under gentoo?

Cheers & a happy Sunday to you,
Happy sunday to you too, and good luck if you try it :)
