Bugzilla Bug 194752

Hi, from genkernel man page:

--kernel-config=<file>
              This specifies a kernel configuration file to use for
compilation; by default .config in the kernel source tree is used.

but if the kernel was still correctly compilated with genkernel (most of the
times), the config file used is /etc/kernels/kernel-config-[version] and not
.config in the kernel source tree as we can see launching "genkernel all". In
my case:

* config: Using config from
/etc/kernels/kernel-config-x86-2.6.22-gentoo-r8-mactel


Reproducible: Always

I've applied the following patch in SVN:

This should be resolved in genkernel 3.4.9, which will be hitting the tree
shortly.  If this is still an issue with that version, please REOPEN this bug
(or comment, if you cannot REOPEN it).
