This is a feature request asking for 2 things 1.)I would like you to change in genkenel.conf MENUCONFIG = no option so it will except MENUCONFIG =None MENUCONFIG =MenuConfig MENUCONFIG =Xconfig MENUCONFIG =Gconfig so i have it buy defualt build with any of these options 2.) create man pages for genkernel.conf so i can see all config option. The Reason for this is right now i was trying to build a new kernel in a xtermal and when menuconfig was run was acting stranglely when i was pushing the arrow key it was put garbage on the screen instead of navigateing the menu. I not useing a gentoo-kernel ebuild (so i not reporting that as a bug),but using the sys-kernel/linux-sabayon-2.6.27.ebuild got buy layman -S with sabayon linux added in the respitory. I also tired switch to a terminal and runing emerge sys-kernel/linux-sabayon an when menuconfig was run was acting a little better but was still act weird.(it gave me a cure to move around instead of navigate the menu like it use to and when i tried to seach for something but when i press / it just printed / (ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I don't know why it is acting funny but i realy don't think it made for X and like the menu config for menuconfig for X and gtk alot better. I'm also haveing a problem where emerge is automaticly building the kernel(wich normialy if i could get menuconfig to work would not be a problem and a dessiered effect), Changeing some use flag might fix this i have to play with it yet a bit my current one are sys-kernel/linux-sabayon-2.6.27 [2.6.25-r1] USE="dmraid grub splash symlink -build -no_sources -only_sources" please note i do not expecting you to fix it. I'm just trieng to explain why my config feature request is needed. I going thu a lot of hassel try to configure my kernel, witch probally a config problem on my side. I went and look at /etc/genkernel.conf but could not find a config opption to allow me to use Xconfig(then I used google and type man genkernel.conf and could not find anything). if there is allready a config option for xmenuconfig can you tell me what it is(this is also why i want a man page.) Thank for any help. I'm useing genkerel-3.4.10 Reproducible: Always
There are already the --xconfig and --gconfig commandline options to complement --menuconfig. Feel free to create the genkernel.conf man page yourself and submit it. It's not at the top of my list of things to do.
I know you can do it with genkernel but there is not an option for it in genkernel.conf. that i know off Important please read this again. there is NOT AN OPTTION for it in genkernel.conf. that i know off for reason why i need this please, please, please ,read my very first post above again carefully. Thankfor remminding me if i want to do it right i have to doit my self.
