You don't. The entire point of genkernel is to make it easy for newbies to compile a kernel, complete with all needed modules, lvm & raid support if needed, maybe a splash and an initramfs. I suppose you *could* use the correct options to genkernel to do it, but if you are creating a monolithic kernel then you must know what you are doing, so what you want is: cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig && make copy kernel, System.map, .config and whatever else you like to keep to /boot; edit grub.conf reboot Using genkernel for this is overkill, much like a bulldozer is overkill for digging one hole to plant a rosebush :-) alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
