I'm not sure where that error comes from, but it sounds like you do need to heed it. If you *want* a kernel without modules, then enable module loading and make sure all the drivers you need are compiled in. If you *need* to not have module loading, then I'd imagine you have no choice but to compile it manually. p.s. Do you *need* an initrd/initramfs? With no modules I doubt you do, so try genkernel with kernel instead of all. -- Mike Williams -- [email protected] mailing list
