emerging a kernel source just unpacks it to /usr/src/ It doesn't actually compile it. Furthermore, by default kernel sources are slotted, so your old sources should still be in /usr/src And unless you have set the symlink use variable, /usr/src/linux should still point to your old sources. So in short: 1) You have not actually compiled/installed/booted a new kernel. So I am not sure what you are worried about. 2) Even after you compiled the new kernel, unless you explicitly remove the old sources (the suggested way is to rm -rf /usr/src/[insert directory here] followed by emerge --unmerge =the particular version of that source) it would still be on your system, so you shouldn't need to do anything special to 'rollback' W -- Pintsize: It's hard to get a lady to evaluate to true.
