Your not being bitten by the ntpl issue are you?

Yep! OK, I'll give this a try and see what happens. the way I see it I need
to:
1) Move /lib/modules out of the way
2) Copy over the 2.6.9 directory from FC2
3) Copy over the 2.6.9-FC2 kernel
4) Edit grub.conf
5) Reboot, as Fernando says, with finges crossed.
Wish I had some backups! ;-)

OK, so no one else has raised a warning, but traffic is slow on
Sundays. I guess I'm brave enough to try it. I'll make the copy and

Humm...I don't know what the worst is that
could happen. Probably
nothing bad and it really wouldn't be that difficult to try. However,
let's say I do it and it works, or I do it and it doesn't work. At
that point what have I learned and how would it help me?
Well, I think the only difference is the compiler, so it would tell us
that the compiler is making a differece. If the plant kernel still gives
you xruns it tells you that some of the system stuff in gentoo is causing
you problems. One thing that occurs is the filesystems, I think
only ext[23] has been
RT tuned in 2.6, so if your gentoo system is using something else that
could be your problem.
No, they are both 2.6.8 or higher. Gentoo has been 2.6.8.1 for a
while. FC2 customized is now 2.6.9 + features. That part should be OK.
(I hope.)
It would
be funny to end up running Gentoo but *having* to build my
kernels on a Fedora box! ;-)
Funny, or very anoying :)
