I can start with a fresh config and look for my config, but at this time, I prefer doing things in the other order. Is that a problem for my question? is it impossible? My original question was: what a the differences between my manual compilation and genkernel's one? Really, I like to read people's opinion about genkernel, but no one has tried to answer my question yet. [...] > > I don't agree.

Did they work? Do you think all people need best config? I don't care much about that, but, ais, I compile my own kernels for my machines. > I have a very nice working config Me too in my laptop too, i.e. > - genkernel couldn't do it any > better. And as a bonus - I don't need an initrd or related cr*p (yes, > I don't like them). So, you have the option of not using it, but how many working configs for many people has generated genkernel?
