I emerge'd the new linux-2.6.7-gentoo sources, changed my /usr/src/linux simlink to point to them, and then copied my .config from my linux-2.6.5-gentoo-r1 directory. When I type "genkernel all", it then says " * Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.0.2a * Compiling Linux Kernel 2.6.7-gentoo for x86... * kernel: >> Running mrproper... * config: Using config from /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6 * Previous config backed up to .config.bak " However, .config.bak is not created, because the make mrproper has already deleted it.

Okay; can you try this patch on /usr/share/genkernel/gen_configkernel.sh and tell me if it works? Below 'cd "${KERNEL_DIR}" || gen_die "Could not switch to the kernel directory!"' add 'isTrue "${CLEAN}" && cp "${KERNEL_DIR}/.config" "${KERNEL_DIR}/.config.bak" > /dev/null 2>&1' and remove the 'cp "${KERNEL_DIR}/.config" "${KERNEL_DIR}/.config.bak"' line further down... Thanks.
That worked! Thanks.
Now fixed with genkernel 3.0.2c, it should reach Portage within an hour. Thanks!
