Description Geoff Madden 2012-01-07 13:16:34 UTC

This failure to mount  boot means that the generated kernel/initramfs are not installed,which also means I have to rebuild the kernel again,,,, pain in the bum HEY

'etc-update' has been reported to fix this


*genkernel-3.4.21.2 (06 Jan 2012)
   
    06 Jan 2012; Robin H. Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org>
     -genkernel-3.4.21.1.ebuild,  +genkernel-3.4.21.2.ebuild:
    3.4.21.1 accidently changed a default that meant no modules in initramfs,
    leading to unbootable setups. Change it back.

You need to add "--install" to your command as its commented out in /etc/genkernel.conf

#INSTALL="yes"

This was already fixed in the tree.
