There's also the matter of the initramfs, one of the main reasons
people use genkernel, although I prefer dracut for this.
until you trip over genkernel's "features" ... like AUTOMOUNT_BOOT,
which doesn't work, by design. Or NO_INSTALL, which does rather more
than just not installing ...
I'm investigating source_mage, and ought to investigate dracut.
Once you have a working kernel, there's very little to do on updates. A
script that runs
cd /usr/src/linux
zcate /proc/config.gz >.config
make oldconfig
make all modules_install install
dracut --kver=$(cat include/config/kernel.release) --xz
update the bootloader
mostly does it all, with a few frills thrown in to cover things like
rebuilding modules.
Can you explain this part a bit? How it knows what version for example
to build against? Does it follow the link in /usr/src/linux, eselect
info or something else?
dracut --kver=$(cat include/config/kernel.release) --xz
The one thing that stumps me is figuring out how to tell dracut what
version I want built. I keep 2, 3 and sometimes 4 kernels of different
versions lurking about in /boot.
Thanks.

I got it figured out. That's a little like cheating. LOL
