I am trying to include an extra module (appletouch) into the initramfs made by genkernel. I figured that I simply needed to stick 'appletouch' into the MODULES_USB string in /usr/share/genkernel/x86/modules_load. But when I ran

Code:
genkernel --debug-level=5 initrd


genkernel told me that it can't find appletouch.ko. Digging a little deeper I found that the script /usr/share/genkernel/gen_initramfs.sh seems to ignore my localversion string I am using for my kernel (set to "-mactel"). It sets the variable KV to 2.6.18 and not 2.6.18-mactel and hence searches /usr/lib/2.6.18 for my kernel modules instead of searching /usr/lib/modules/2.6.18-mactel.

I forgot: sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.1

Got a patch?  Also, are you using genkernel's "extraversion" or are you using the in-kernel one?
