FYI genkernel easy option but at a big price !!!!!

[aerotech]

Has anybody tried using genkernel ?

wow I have never seen so may insmod failures in my life
Just about every possible option that could be compiled into my kernel was,
as a module at that, including my intergrated intel pro 100 nic.
which was one of the insmod failures....

I would not recommend it unless you really cannot compile your own kernel

I tried it for time reasons and now I will pay the price......
My kernel was huge

Time to rebuild the good old fashioned way
you just can't beat a hand crafted custom kernel

just in case anybody was interested in trying it

Ive built my last few kernels with it.

Nothing is wrong with it

[duncan]

genkernel --config lets you configure is exactly as you want.

now if only I could figure out how to link it to a different kernel I'd be happy.... ck will not compile so need to go to gentoo-sources.

Edit:
IMHO the biggest bprice is a complete lack of documentation on it.

I tried changing the symbolic link in /usr/src to the version of the kernel I wanted genkernel to use and it worked!
