So you have done everything the manual told you? Emerged the sources, changed the chroot, and so on?

If you install gentoo through GRP, you need indeed to run
# genkernel
Nevertheless, if you use a recent genkernel version, if you have downloaded it for exemple (through emerge sync), run
# genkernel all

Hope that helps,
cheers

I found this somewhere on the forums:

No.
All you have to do is read the above. If you emerged genkernel and downloaded it then you should run 'genkernel all' because this searches and configs all possible modules/kernels installed, instead of searching for the default one, which is what just 'genkernel' does.

I used genkernel all and it worked great for me. But I did this on my laptop..

PS: If you really want more configurability, I _HIGHLY_ recommend manually configuring the kernel so that you get more usability, customizability, and performance. Also, boot times will be slower with genkernel.

Hope this helps.

I tried genkernel all - i works... but another thinks didnt..
1) in inatall manual is genkarnel 1.4 but in Live CD is 3.0.1_beta9
2) command make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install gives me error. output is: no rule to make target 'dep'
3) etc-update give me also some errors, it asked me if he may update something or something like this.

4) install gentoo failed

I should unplugged network cable to dont allow hin to download new files from net.
