When compiled a new 2.4.23-grsec kernel, updating 2.4.22-grsec: 1.Changed linux link to the new source; 2.copied .config from old /2.4.22/ to new /2.4.23/; 3.run genkernel --config and it used /etc/kernels/default-config - not what i wanted; 4.backed up default-config and put over my 2.4.22-config as default-config; 5.run genkernel --config and it worked. Hope this helps. Rumen
