Comment 2 Omkhar Arasaratnam (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-31 11:47:08 UTC 
Real issue here is that it doesn't pick a default config like x86, --config-kernel must be used
Comment 3 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-31 11:51:38 UTC 
PPC64 team: in the genkernel/ppc64 directory I see kernel-2.6-pSeries and kernel-2.6.g5. For things to work by default one of these needs to be renamed to kernel-2.6; so please choose :-)
Comment 4 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-06 15:57:51 UTC 
PPC64 team: Comment #3 please.
Comment 5 Omkhar Arasaratnam (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-09 10:57:50 UTC 
Can we just put a USE flag in genkernel. for example USE="pseries" would default a pSeries kernel and "g5" would do mac?
Comment 6 Omkhar Arasaratnam (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-21 14:59:24 UTC 
Here is a patch that will provide an example of how to leverage the "ibm" USE flag
