Kernel 2.6 on Alpha XL 366 (xlt)

Hi everyone,

I haven't been following the list as much lately (finishing my 
bachelor's degree soon), but I was able to compile the 2.6.12-rc2 kernel 
(vanilla-sources). It runs fine (as far as I can tell). And the best 
thing is that I compiled it with the "Alcor/XLT" system type (not 
generic like I had to do with 2.4.28! There's a new option just under 
System Type to tell the kernel that I have an ev56 CPU, maybe that's 
what made the difference...

One thing that's weird is that emerge put the kernel in 
/usr/src/linux-2.6.11-rc2 (not 2.6.12-rc2 as it should have). I'm sure 
it's 2.6.12-rc2 because of a) uname -a says so, b) the dir it created in 
/lin/modules is 2.6.12-rc2, c) at the logon screen it also says 
2.6.12-rc2. So is there any danger in moving it to 
/usr/src/linux-2.6.12-rc2? Will emerge find it again if I ever want to 
unmerge it? (I'm, guessing no, but is that so bad?)

Thanks in advance,

J-S
