Please clarify what version of rear has this problem, and how you installed it. Either way, from the problem description one can see that rear needs patching, however: If it was installed by ortage from an ebuild, then you have a bug to be reported to b.g.o. If you installed from git outside of portage, the you get to patch rear yourself Or, perhaps a third option. Does rear have a config file where you can define the naming template for the kernel used? (I don't use rear and can't be bothered googling it, the idea just occurred to me) -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
