I suspect you omit certain details, such as running grub-mkconfig or
otherwise updating your grub (or other bootloader) configuration prior
to the first reboot.
then i periodically update the system by:
sudo emerge -avDuNt --quiet-build=y --keep-going=y @world
problem is: when the gentoo-source kernel gets updated by emerge, it does not
use my genkernel's new configs.
questions:
1. What's going on?
2. How to fix it?
Unless I'm missing something about what you are doing, simply emerging a
new gentoo-kernel version does nothing except install the sources, it
doesn't build the new kernel. You would still need to run genkernel
again for that new version.
