Description Gil Kloepfer 2014-01-28 21:19:59 UTC
The AMODULES_{group} genkernel.conf option is not documented anywhere.  This is implemented in the top-level genkernel bash script.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
This is a documentation enhancement, so nothing needs to be added here.



I was in need of adding a couple of additional crypto modules to my initrd (ramdisk) and looked at the source to see if there was a way to include these without modifying parts of genkernel or leaving a file in a place that I would forget later.  I discovered the AMODULES_{group} genkernel.conf support in the top-level genkernel bash script and feel it would be helpful to others if it was documented in the default genkernel.conf file.

I am attaching a patch for genkernel.conf with an explanation of this previously undocumented feature.
