I compiled "genkernel all" instead of looking for the correct entry to

Not I compiled nvidia-drivers and got a message:

Genkernel all doesn't have any .config file.
How to remove them? Where to get .config for genkernel all?
found it in /etc/genkernel.conf
That was not it. I copied genkernel.conf to /usr/src/linux/.config but
this configuration file is different.
I was looking for CONFIG_I2C_NVIDIA_GPU in genkernel.conf I couldn't
find it.
genkernel.conf is a configuration file for genkernel not your kernel
configuration. Your mixing two separate things. You can edit
/etc/genkernel.conf and change SAVE_CONFIG="yes" to save your kernel
configuration files which is what I do. I same my kernel configuration
files in /etc/kernels/ and use the following script...
$ cat /root/bin/genkernel.sh
#!/bin/bash -x
## build kernel with genkernel
genkernel --kernel-config=/etc/kernels/kernel-config-x86_64-$(uname -r) all
## update grub.cfg file
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
I also have OLDCONFIG="no" and MENUCONFIG="yes" in /etc/genkernel.conf.
Once you invest 20 minutes editing your kernel config, you don't want to
have to do it again so saving a working kernel config is a good strategy.
You will find CONFIG_I2C_NVIDIA_GPU as a kernel config option (make
menuconfig for example).
The reason I'm using "genkernel all" as there is some setting missing in
my old .config file that is stop booting my M.2 SSD (are there any
special option in kernel for it?). I'm getting an error:
kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block (0, 0)
This means you are missing a kernel configuration option (most likely
the one for your disk controller). The fact that its an SSD is not
useful.. what the SSD is connected to is . Use lspci to find out what
hardware you have in your system.
