Google for Greg Kroah Hartmann, go to his site, download his kernel guide.

I have seen horrible, horrible kernels created by it. I have a very nice working config - genkernel couldn't do it any better. And as a bonus - I don't need an initrd or related cr*p (yes, I don't like them). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
