Hi, Me too, till now some 5-6 months always compiled kernels /from 2.4.20-r3 or r4 august 2003/, next 2.4.22-grsec at least two times and now twice 2.4.23-grsec with genkernel. Answer to 1. In etc/kernels/ dir there are all kernel config files for kernels compiled with genkernel there is one default-config which is default for new compiles. First I backup default-config to default-config.orig then copy for example kernel-2.4.23-grsec-1.9.13 to default-config for it to became the default for new compile and pronto. Just run genkernel --config. About 2. I think it's already answered above. Just a note, I have /boot partition on hda1 and root on hda2. When running genkernel i don't mount /boot /hda1/ to copy the new kernel, it is auto-mounted by genkernel. But u have to update the bootloader config after compile. Using grub. Hope it helps.
