Description witr 2003-08-27 15:19:05 UTC 
In sys-kernel/genkernel-1.5, doing:

   * genkernel, then
   * genkernel --config

leaves the second kernel's modules in a possibly broken state, since apparently
no make mrproper is done during the build.

In my case I was getting modules with undefined symbols when I changed various
kernel config options.  Doing cd /usr/src/linux; make mrproper fixed the problem.

Will be fixed in 1.6. Thanks! :)
