Hi.
I want to build chromium os kernel ver 2.6.38.

But "third_party/kernel/files" in chromium os source directory, there
are ver 3.0.13.

How can I do?

and I want to build chromium os file system using kernel version
2.6.38.

Please help me

it'd probably be easier to provide your own sys-kernel/ package and
replace chromeos-kernel with that. you are however treading into
extremely untested/unsupported waters :).

You can try checking out the 2.6.38 branch:

cros_workon --board=foo start chromeos_kernel

cd src/third_party/kernel/files

git checkout cros/2.6.38

However the kernel headers are currently from the 3.0 or later line (I forget the exact number) and the other packages build against it. I'm sure there are probably some packages that depend on features from the 3.0 or later kernels as well.

Plus the kernel ebuild might include things that rely on the 3.0 kernel (I can't think of anything off hand but its something else to be careful of).

As vapier said, tread carefully.
