I've been using genkernel on my latest install and it's been handy,
automating several steps especially making sure /boot is mounted.

Today I emerged in a new kernel version. I fixed my /usr/src/linux link
and copied over my .config from the old kernel tree to the new one. Then
I run genkernel --config. For some reason, it does not keep the settings
from the .config I copied over. This surprised me because I ran
genkernel --config repeatedly in the original kernel source tree and it
kept the settings.
What is different about the new kernel source tree that would make it
not keep the .config settings?

Also, a suggestion for improvement to genkernel would be to have it keep
2 kernel versions and set up grub to allow you to boot the last running
version.
