Description Martin Parm 2004-07-21 04:17:34 UTC
Genkernel mounts /boot even if the user specifies --no-install

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.genkernel --no-install all
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Genkernel mounts /boot but never uses it due to --no-install

Expected Results:  
Genkernel shouldn't (IMHO) mount /boot when the user specifies --no-install. 
When the --no-install option is used, genkernel should make as little changes to 
the active system as possible. That includes mount /boot.

The patch should be in Portage with genkernel-3.0.2e; please reopen this bug if you have any issues with it. Thanks!
