I guess I'm brave enough to try it.

No, they are both 2.6.8 or higher. Gentoo has been 2.6.8.1 for a while. FC2 customized is now 2.6.9 + features. That part should be OK.

OK, I'll give this a try and see what happens. the way I see it I need to: 1) Move /lib/modules out of the way 2) Copy over the 2.6.9 directory from FC2 3) Copy over the 2.6.9-FC2 kernel 4) Edit grub.conf 5) Reboot, as Fernando says, with finges crossed. Wish I had some backups! ;-) - Mark
