Thanks, Thats what wasn't clear to me. I assume this is a special case in that an 'update world' won't install new kernel sources by default? I assume that the separate kernel source trees means that a new kernel can be build in parallel to an older one, and the active kernel chosen at boot time.

RE: [gentoo-user] Gentoo system initialization scripts UDEV message

Roy, I changed /dev/mouse to /dev/input/mice as you suggested. No luck. I checked the Xorg.0.log. The only error message there was "Failed to initialize NVIDIA kernel module." I forgot to check dmesg. I am wondering if I need to use mknod. Eventhough the nvidia module seems to load (lsmod confirms
