This is a big problem as when I emerged nvidia-glx, emerge installed gentoo-sources-2.4.19.ebuild as my symlink to /usr/src/linux.
My root filesystem is XFS so kernel fails to mount root file-system.

I was wondering ihow I could find the correct XFS patch and how to apply it. :?:

have you tried emerging the xfs-sources? those already have the xfs patches...
or do you want to know what the actual patches you need to add xfs support to the kernel?

The xfs-sources only aply to linux-2.4.18.
When I emerged xfs-sources my linux symlink is now /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-xfs.
The problm is that nvidia-kernel-1.0.2880-r1.ebuild has linux-2.4.19 as a dependency.
My goal is to have nvidia-kernel-1.0.2880 and also mount my root partition XFS.

Just emerge them both, change the symlink and emerge nvidia-kernel again. I have to do that each time I rebuild my kernel anyway. And Yes I agree that the kernel-sources change has caused some problems with XFS. I had a VFS panic and had to use the CD to recover. Then I noticed that XFS was not there. My falult really but still a pain. What is the problem with 2.4.19 really? All my systems are fine and emerge --update world wanted to up them all the the gentoo(no XFS) kernels. I just did it to stop the dam thing.

I just built a linux-2.4.18-xfs kernel & then did
emerge nvidia-kernel-1.0.2880-r1.ebuild --nodeps.
--nodeps allowed nivdia-kernel to install on linux-2.4.18 because it depends on linux-2.4.19
and linux-2.4.19 has no XFS. :)
