> My question is why genkernel said : config type: non-gentoo (default) !!!! The "non-gentoo (default)" message is simply the message that goes along with using /etc/kernels/default-config. Genkernel currently looks for three config files in the following order: /etc/kernels/config-(kernel-version) reported as "gentoo (customized)" /usr/src/linux-(kernel-version)/kernel-config reported as "gentoo (default)" /etc/kernels/default-config reported as "non-gentoo (default)" Genkernel will use the first config it finds, so if config-(kernel-verison) exists then kernel-config and default-config will not be read. Each of these configs is used in the exact same way, so the 'non-gentoo' message only means that genkernel didn't find one of the other configs. The only thing to watch out for is if you run 'genkernel --config' and customize your settings, then genkernel will automatically copy the new config to /etc/kernels/config-(kernel-version), so from then on default-config will have no effect. Hope this helps, Doug PS: (kernel-version) in the above refers to everything after linux- in the directory your /usr/src/linux symlink points to. So if /usr/src/linux links to /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r7, then (kernel-version) will be 2.4.20-gentoo-r7. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
