genkernel ignores "--menuconfig" when also using "--no-clean". The same behavior is seen by seting the corresponding options in /etc/genkernel.conf Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. genkernel --no-clean --menuconfig all 2. 3. Actual Results: genkernel skips kernel configuration because "--no-clean" was specified. Expected Results: Specifying "--menuconfig" should invoke "make menuconfig" even if "--no-clean" is also specified.

Created attachment 23190 [details, diff] Proposed patch How about moving "make menuconfig" out of the "make clean" check?
yes this is a known problem, and will be fixed. this is a very old version of genkernel 3.0.1 you're playing with too.
fixed in _beta8, thanks
