This is an enhancement to have genkernel fail at the first grep error if the directory or path specified in the --menuconfig option (or similar) instead of trying to go through 4 grep's, checking the .config twice and running the first few compiles. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use the following command line: "genkernel all --kerneldir=/usr/src/<kernel directory>--menuconfig" and note there's no space after the kernel directory to create a bad path 2. n/a 3. n/a Actual Results: grep: /usr/src/linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r11--menuconfig/Makefile: No such file or directory grep: /usr/src/linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r11--menuconfig/Makefile: No such file or directory grep: /usr/src/linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r11--menuconfig/Makefile: No such file or directory grep: /usr/src/linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r11--menuconfig/Makefile: No such file or directory * Compiling Linux Kernel .. for x86_64... * ERROR: Error: No kernel .config specified, or file not found! * -- Grepping log... -- * Compiling Linux Kernel .. for x86_64...

Check for the existance of the kernel sources earlier.
Fixed in 3.2.2, thanks!
