|
|
Hi, all...
I've been running on genkernel for a short while, but I've not emerged gentoo-sources. There is no /usr/src/linux content.
Where might genkernel keep it's .config file? Is a copy of it in /proc/config.gz?
To manually configure a kernel, but start off with all the settings I have in genkernel, could I unzip /proc/config.gz and use that with:to recreate a similar configuration??
Thank you... _________________ Dell OptiPlex GX260

You could try genkernel with --save-config option, after that, configuration file will be placed in /etc/kernels/
Hope it helps. _________________ Never make any mistaeks. |

If /proc/config.gz is there, (it should be), then just "zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux/.config" and run "make oldconfig". You need to have emerged gentoo-sources before you do that though. Also, if the version of the genkernel kernel is different from the one installed by emerging gentoo-sources, you will probably get asked a lot of questions when you "make oldconfig". _________________

You may also want to check /etc/kernels/. |

There is also a default kernel config if no config is found under /etc/kernels. Genkernel wil use /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6 |

There are no /etc/kernels or even /usr/share/genkernel directories...

I do have /proc/config.gz, so I'll give that a try...
Thanks!
[Edit] Voila! Success using /proc/config.gz ! _________________ Dell OptiPlex GX260
