The "non-gentoo (default)" message is simply the message that goes
along with using /etc/kernels/default-config. Genkernel currently looks
for three config files in the following order:
/etc/kernels/config-(kernel-version)
reported as "gentoo (customized)"
/usr/src/linux-(kernel-version)/kernel-config
reported as "gentoo (default)"
/etc/kernels/default-config
reported as "non-gentoo (default)"
Genkernel will use the first config it finds, so if
config-(kernel-verison) exists then kernel-config and default-config
will not be read. Each of these configs is used in the exact same way,
so the 'non-gentoo' message only means that genkernel didn't find one
of the other configs. The only thing to watch out for is if you run
'genkernel --config' and customize your settings, then genkernel will
automatically copy the new config to
/etc/kernels/config-(kernel-version),
so from then on default-config will have no effect.
Hope this helps,
Doug
PS: (kernel-version) in the above refers to everything after linux- in
the directory your /usr/src/linux symlink points to. So if
/usr/src/linux links to /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r7, then
(kernel-version) will be 2.4.20-gentoo-r7.
