I made some changes to genkernel to compile linux-2.6 automagically using  make allmodconfig

problems that exist:
1. network driver modules did not autoload. I had to add the names to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 . watch for the order in which you add the names of the modules. It may change your interface naming order if you have multiple NICs.
2. for some reason, xterm would not start up in X. neither would aterm or wterm. didn't have rxvt installed at that time. ALL other X clients like epiphany evolution dillo etc work correctly, mouse works correctly. So I am not sure if this is an xterm problem or a tcsh problem. |
