Stuck on loading kernel

do you use genkernel or not?

if not check EFI Framebuffer, Simple Framebuffer and VESA Framebuffer options in the kernel

Can I just load the config file in make menuconfig, then add those feqtures and re compile?

EDIT
Not using genkernel

MerrinX,

mrpoper is rarely required.
That removes all the files not actually distributed with the kernel, including your existing .config.

Occasionally, make clean can be required. The removes all the build products but .config is left in place.
The occasions when make clean is required will be indicated by build errors or missing symbols when a module is loaded.
Its also useful if your system time steps backwards.

make is lazy. It looks at the timestamp on an output file and compares that to the timestamps on all the input files.
If the output file is newer, there is nothing to do and make moves on having made nothing.
That can be a problem if time stepped backwards. That is very rare on a PC after the initial install.

Go into menuconfig, make your changes then do your usual
