I'm trying to install on amd64 and I run into the error:
Code:
bash: genkernel: command not found

I have followed the handbook closely and haven't deviated from the defaults much except for that I'm using a hardened profile with selinux.
I have emerged genkernel
I'm in chroot
I've done emerge --sync and reinstalled and genkernel still doesn't work
I haven't ran into any other errors while installing

Here are some code things that might help:
Code:
(chroot) new-host-8 / # which genkernel
which: no genkernel in (/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/7.3.0:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/bin)


Code:
(chroot) new-host-8 / # emerge --ask sys-kernel/genkernel

 * IMPORTANT: 2 config files in '/etc/portage' need updating.
 * See the CONFIGURATION FILES and CONFIGURATION FILES UPDATE TOOLS
 * sections of the emerge man page to learn how to update config files.

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N     ] app-arch/cpio-2.12-r1  USE="nls"
[ebuild  N     ] sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20181001  USE="-savedconfig"
[ebuild   R    ] sys-apps/util-linux-2.32-r4  USE="static-libs*"
[ebuild  N     ] sys-kernel/genkernel-3.5.3.3  USE="firmware (selinux) -cryptsetup (-ibm)"

The following USE changes are necessary to proceed:
 (see "package.use" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by sys-kernel/genkernel-3.5.3.3::gentoo
# required by sys-kernel/genkernel (argument)
>=sys-apps/util-linux-2.32-r4 static-libs

Would you like to add these changes to your config files? [Yes/No] Y

Autounmask changes successfully written.

 * IMPORTANT: 3 config files in '/etc/portage' need updating.
 * See the CONFIGURATION FILES and CONFIGURATION FILES UPDATE TOOLS
 * sections of the emerge man page to learn how to update config files.
(chroot) new-host-8 / # genkernel --menuconfig all
bash: genkernel: command not found

good discussion: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1087600.html
generally when portage complains instead of merging packages, you need to fix the complaints and then repeat the emerge.
BTW, I think I know that genkernel and hardened don't work together and that hardened and current kernels also have incompatibilities.

Edit for typo

I have emerged genkernel
Are you sure about that? Your output says that it is not installed yet.

N = New install. If you had installed genkernel, that line would be R.

This indicates that Portage is not willing to merge the package without a configuration change.

Run etc-update to update your configuration files, then try emerging genkernel.

Ok thanks, it works now after I did etc-update for the outdated files mentioned by emerge. I saw something on the wiki about how certain errors can be ignored when installing, but I guess I should just read more.

IMO the answer is 'no' and 'not at all'.
At least in the past genkernel worked fine at a hardened system.
Furthermore nearly all (vanilla) kernel in the last 4 years worked fine at a hardened Gentoo. I do follow the latest stable vanilla kernel from Greg Kroah-Hartmann since the GrSecurity people decided to stop providing a kernel patch for free - there were no problems so far.
