Description:   Opened: 2006-10-09 19:02 0000 
The genkernel manual page states:

       --debuglevel=<0-5>
              This  controls  the out verbosity level of genkernel output - if
              this is set to 0, minimal debugging is done; if this is set to 5
              as much output as possible is given.

       --debugfile=<outfile>
              This  outputs full debugging data; regardless of --debuglevel to
              the file <outfile>. By default this is /var/log/genkernel.log.


It is not the case that --debugfile causes full debuging output regardless of
verbosity level, there is a significant difference in output with and without a
--debuglevel.

I'm attaching two --debugfile(s) generate with these commands:

# genkernel --lvm2 --kernel-config=/tmp/myconfig --debugfile=/tmp/genkernel.out
all

# genkernel --lvm2 --kernel-config=/tmp/myconfig
--debugfile=/tmp/genkernel-debug5.out --debuglevel=5 all

It doesn't matter which way this is resolved, but the man page, them embedded
documentation, and the behavior ought to be consistent.

Please test genkernel 3.4.9_prer1 or better.  This should be fixed now.
