Now I might have something to try, but it is very unlikely that I would build a Linux kernel <= 2.6.16, especially with new hardware that might need the latest drivers. I will primarily want to run Linux natively rather than under FreeBSD. I think emulators/linux_dist-gentoo-stage3 and emulators/linux_base-gentoo-stage3 must use kernel far beyond 2.6.16. But I think, when chrooting into Linux from FreeBSD, FreeBSD kernel is the one in effect. Tom
