What do you get when you enter the following command as root user in a Konsole/Terminal window?

Code: Select all
eselect kernel list

If you have installed the 2.6.32-sabayon kernel then the symlink should point to it, not to the 2.6.31-sabayon kernel. Therefore you need to do the following as root user in a Konsole/Terminal window:

Code: Select all
eselect kernel set 3

See SL Wiki article HOWTO: Upgrade kernel using genkernel.

It's not 'my' source. I'm not a Sabayon developer. I'm a forum moderator.

It might not be a bug, it might simply be that all the files required (Linux sources and headers) for the 2.6.31-sabayon kernel were not on your HDD. Did you try re-building the 2.6.31-sabayon kernel (see SL Wiki article HOWTO: Upgrade kernel using genkernel)?
