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
