# $Id$ DEPENDENCIES: - GCC and binutils - GNU Bash - PaX Utilities USAGE: See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/genkernel.xml or issue ``genkernel --help''. PORTING: To port to other arches: # cd /usr/share/genkernel # cp -Rp x86 ${myarch} # mkdir /usr/share/genkernel/pkg/${myarch} Modify what is needed in the /usr/share/genkernel/${myarch} directory, as well making a generic kernel-config. IMPORTANT KERNEL NOTES: - You MUST have /dev/pts turned on. - To boot genkernel properly, the kernel config must have Initial RAM disk support. BOOTING A KERNEL WITH INITRD: GRUB: root= needs to point to your root partition vga= should be the resolution you want your screen. 0x317 is 1024x768 - 16bpp and you'll get a pretty splash if configured properly GRUB EXAMPLE ENTRY: title=2.6.0 [ Genkernel ] root (hd0,0) kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.6.0-gentoo root=/dev/hda3 vga=0x317 initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-2.6.0-gentoo
