Hi,
When using genkernel it uses config-file from 
/etc/kernels/default-config /i think/ not .config in the source root.
I 
do copy .config or some old config-2.4.xx-..... to default-config, 
reserving the original of course.

Ahhhh. Thankyou Rumen. Please confirm if possible the following.

Ok, so say I want to upgrade to 2.4.20-gentoo-r8 and use the same
Kernel menu selections selected in 2.4.20-gentoo-r7.
Are you saying that if I use "genkernel" to compile 2.4.20-gentoo-r8
that I can simply replace "etc/kernels/default-config" file with a copy
of "etc/kernels/config-2.4.20-gentoo-r7" file and Genkernel will
compile -r8 with my -r7 kernel menu selections correct???
If so.. Thankyou, thankyou.  Heh... I didn't realize that the actual
kernel menu config settings were stored in /etc/kernel directory.. Or
is this only for Genkernel???
Thanks so much Rumen.

Joshua Banks

Hi Joshua,

In my opinion you got it right.
That's only my personal experience of course. Be warned.
When using genkernel copying .config doesn't seem to work, but the other 
way works.
I've never compiled my kernels by hand, only with genkernel.
Rumen.
