Observe que as fontes do meu kernel não estão mais na árvore. Eu tento manter o kernel com o qual eu construí o sistema (preferência pessoal), e eu uso genkernel-next com o seguinte arquivo conf:
$ cat /etc/genkernel.conf
\# Configuration file for genkernel
# This file is sourced by genkernel at startup and determines which options
# we will be using to compile our kernel. The order of precidence is simple,
# with the internal settings being least important, configuration file
# settings next, and command line options being most important.
# =========Common Command Line Option Defaults=========
# Should we install to $BOOTDIR? Default is "no" because genkernel is used in
# catalyst and stage building.
INSTALL="yes"
# Run 'make oldconfig' before compiling this kernel?
OLDCONFIG="yes"
# Run 'make menuconfig' before compiling this kernel?
MENUCONFIG="yes"
# Run 'make nconfig' (ncurses 'menuconfig') before compiling this kernel?
NCONFIG="no"
# Note, that two previous lines are mutual exclusive (logically), while
# MENUCONFIG has a higher priority if both them is enabled.
# Run 'make clean' before compilation?
# If set to NO, implies MRPROPER WILL NOT be run
# Also, if clean is NO, it won't copy over any configuration
# file, it will use what's there.
CLEAN="yes"
# Run 'make mrproper' before configuration/compilation?
MRPROPER="yes"
# Override the arch detection?
#ARCH_OVERRIDE="x86"
# Mount BOOTDIR automatically if it isn't mounted?
MOUNTBOOT="yes"
# Make symlinks in BOOTDIR automatically?
#SYMLINK="no"
# Save the new configuration in /etc/kernels upon
# successfull compilation
SAVE_CONFIG="yes"
# Use Color output in Genkernel?
USECOLOR="yes"
# Clear build cache dir
CLEAR_CACHE_DIR="yes"
# Clear all tmp files and caches after genkernel has run
POSTCLEAR="1"
# Genkernel uses an independent configuration for MAKEOPTS, and does not source
# /etc/make.conf . You can override the default setting by uncommenting and
# tweaking the following line. Default setting is set up by
# ${GK_SHARE}/${ARCH_OVERRIDE}/config.sh . The recommended value for -j
# argument is: <number of processors>*<number of cores per processor>+1
MAKEOPTS="-j5"
# Add in LVM support from static binaries if they exist on the system, or
# compile static LVM binaries if static ones do not exist.
#LVM="no"
# Add in Luks support. Needs sys-fs/cryptsetup with -dynamic installed.
#LUKS="no"
# Add in GnuPG support
#GPG="no"
# Add DMRAID support.
#DMRAID="no"
# Include (or suppresses the inclusion of) busybox in the initrd or initramfs.
# If included, busybox is rebuilt if the cached copy is out of date.
BUSYBOX="yes"
# Use udev instead of mdev as the default device manager for the initramfs.
# If you use systemd and perhaps lvm, you _must_ keep this turned on.
UDEV="yes"
# Includes mdadm/mdmon binaries in initramfs.
# Without sys-fs/mdadm[static] installed, this will build a static mdadm.
#MDADM="no"
# Specify a custom mdadm.conf.
# By default the ramdisk will be built *without* an mdadm.conf and will auto-detect
# arrays during bootup. Usually, this should not be needed.
#MDADM_CONFIG="/etc/mdadm.conf"
# Add Multipath support.
#MULTIPATH="no"
# Add iSCSI support.
#ISCSI="no"
# Add e2fsprogs support.
E2FSPROGS="yes"
# Enable copying of firmware into initramfs
#FIRMWARE="no"
# Specify directory to pull from
#FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware"
# Specify specific firmware files to include. This overrides FIRMWARE_DIR
#FIRMWARE_FILES=""
# Add new kernel to grub?
BOOTLOADER="grub2"
# Enable splashutils in early space (initrd). Default is "no".
#SPLASH="yes"
# Use this splash theme. If commented out - the "default" name theme is used.
# Also, SPLASH="yes" needs to be enabled for this one to one work.
# This supersedes the "SPLASH_THEME" option of /etc/conf.d/splash (in early space).
#SPLASH_THEME="gentoo"
# Installs, or not, plymouth into the initramfs. If "splash" will be
# passed at boot, plymouth will be activated.
PLYMOUTH="yes"
# Embeds the given plymouth theme into the initramfs.
PLYMOUTH_THEME="solar"
# =========Keymap Settings=========
#
# Force keymap selection at boot
#DOKEYMAPAUTO="yes"
# Disables keymap selection support
#KEYMAP="0"
# =========Low Level Compile Settings=========
#
# GNU Make to use for kernel. See also the --kernel-make command line option.
#KERNEL_MAKE="make"
# Compiler to use for the kernel (e.g. distcc). See also the --kernel-cc
# command line option.
#KERNEL_CC="gcc"
# Assembler to use for the kernel. See also the --kernel-as command line
# option.
#KERNEL_AS="as"
# Linker to use for the kernel. See also the --kernel-ld command line option.
#KERNEL_LD="ld"
# GNU Make to use for the utilities. See also the --utils-make command line
# option.
#UTILS_MAKE="make"
# Compiler to use for the utilities (e.g. distcc). See also the --utils-cc

# Set genkernel's temporary work directory. Default is /var/tmp/genkernel
#TMPDIR="/var/tmp/genkernel"
# Set the boot directory, default is /boot
#BOOTDIR="/boot"

#DEFAULT_KERNEL_CONFIG="${GK_SHARE}/arch/%%ARCH%%/kernel-config"
# Specifies a user created busybox config
#BUSYBOX_CONFIG="/path/to/file"
#BUSYBOX_APPLETS="[ ash sh mount uname echo cut cat"
# NOTE: Since genkernel 3.4.41 the version of
# busybox, lvm, mdadm, .. have been moved to
# /usr/share/genkernel/defaults/software.sh in order to
# reduce the merging you have to do during etc-update.
# You can still override these settings in here.
# =========MISC KERNEL CONFIGURATION============
#
# Tag the kernel and ramdisk with a name:
# If not defined the option defaults to
# 'genkernel'
#KNAME="genkernel"
# This option is only valid if kerncache is
# defined. If there is a valid kerncache no checks

#INTEGRATED_INITRAMFS="1"
# Compress generated initramfs
#COMPRESS_INITRD="yes"
# Types of compression: best, xz, lzma, bzip2, gzip, lzop, fastest
# "best" selects the best available compression method
# "fastest" selects the fastest available compression method
#COMPRESS_INITRD_TYPE="best"

Usando vlc com o driver proprietário nvidia e nenhum driver nouveau , não vi nenhum rasgo com vários DVDs - All Seasons of Breaking Bad e Oblivion para citar alguns, e uma assinatura Hulu para o Dr Who e tal em cromo estável. Eu também desabilitei a placa de vídeo onboard em favor da versão AGP da placa listada. Em 3 anos, não tive de fazer nada de importante, exceto alguns upgrades de disco rígido, e substituir uma NIC sem fio
