Description fbusse 2005-12-25 05:37:23 UTC

I just used genkernel for the first time and noticed, after an unpleasant booting error, that it doesn't include drivers for the LSI Logic (Fusion MPT) SCSI driver.
Since this is even the default emulation in VMWare, I think it would be a good thing to include it by default, since you also include every available SCSI-driver.

I had the same problem as you and tried with the latest version in portage (3.3.10, but it is soft masked) and it solves the problem.

What you need to do:

echo "sys-kernel/genkernel ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge genkernel

Don't forget to remove previous configurations from /etc/kernels before using genkernel, because the old version saved the configuration with the bug.

Maintainers: Can we have a stable version of genkernel in the tree please? Either 3.3.10 or 3.3.6 patched.
