That sounds good. I've always configured my own kernels but it can take a few tries to get a bootable one. Even tho you were trying to use genkernel, if it isn't working right, borrowing a config from a known working setup can allow you to build your own kernel manually. It may even be faster than using genkernel, which I've read works in most cases. Either way, whatever works and gets you going. Dale :-) :-)
