Ive been using genkernel with my laptop to have it automatically generate a kernel. It turns out genkernel didn't install ACPI power support.

I always used menuconfig, but I use genkernel cause im way too lazy to select options, and I always feel like I missed something. With genkernel I don't get that.

genkernel selects every one of the options in the kernel. I use it so I dont have to do it manually.
