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. -- Chris Bare [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
