Canek, how to handle changing configs? AFAI understand I do: eselect kernel set x cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig (SAVE .config) cp .config /etc/kerninst/kernel-config kerninst ... right? I am currently struggling with a kernel not showing /dev/kvm ... and toggling kvm_amd on/module ... etc Thanks, Stefan
