I would be nice to have an option for GenKernel that would create a minimal kernel required for Gentoo (ie. has Devfs support, etc). I envision that you would do something like genkernel --config --minimal The resultant menu would show the configuration of what would be reqiuired, then the user could toggle the few extra items they would like. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
not really possible, it would require knowing pci ids for your hardware and what kernel options matched against what modules were required, etc it's just never really going to happen
