First of all do not send emails in HTML format! Many people dislike HTML emails including me :) Second, answer on your sort of question: If you want to compile your own kernel, whatever that exactly means, then why are you using genkernel? Genkernel isn´t perfect. I tried genkernel too to configure a 2.4.x kernel but didn´t work for me either. Best way is to manually configure the kernel. Go to /usr/src/linux and do a make menuconfig and select the things you need for your current hardware. After that make dep clean && make bzImage modules modules_install Then copy the bzImage from /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/ into your /boot and configure your bootloader. Offtopic, I am running the 2.6.0 test kernel atm. Thats all, Yee Chie Tu
