In alt.os.linux.gentoo, David uttered these immortal words:

Malcolm said he's had this problem and recommends a recompile so it's worth
a try. I would definitely second that course of action.

I don't see this as an error mesage as such. From what I can tell it's not
affecting anything and how often do you type "uname -a". I don't know how
you configured your kernel but I spent some time choosing just what I
needed for mine (gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.9 currently). It only takes 10 mins
to compile so it was worth the effort.

Going on past experience then 2.6.10 should go stable in the next few days
so it might be worth waiting. Of course that assumes there won't be any
problems and it /is/ the holiday season so it's hard to say when it'll go
stable.

Neither can I.
