When I use genkernel to make a new kernel alsa-drivers are wipped out and I have to emerge them after the kernel is made. I made a diff for /usr/share/genkernel/genkernel to fix this, it handles alsa-driver and nvidia just fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. use genkernel to make a new kernel 2. reboot and find that alsa isn't working X doesn't either 3. Actual Results: No sound or X Expected Results: Made the sound still work and X work as well Here's the diff --- genkernel.org 2004-07-27 17:13:47.595657680 +0000 +++ genkernel 2004-07-27 17:13:08.394617144 +0000 @@ -130,7 +130,7 @@ # Compile modules compile_modules - print_info 1 "Copying config for successful build to /etc/kernels/kernel-config-${ARCH}-${KV}" + print_info 1 "Copying ${KERNEL_DIR}/.config for successful build to /etc/kernels/kernel-config-${ARCH}-${KV}" [ ! -e "/etc/kernels" ] && mkdir -p /etc/kernels cp "${KERNEL_DIR}/.config" "/etc/kernels/kernel-config-${ARCH}-${KV}" fi @@ -237,3 +237,19 @@ print_info 1 'is about the default genkernel configuration...' print_info 1 '' print_info 1 'Make sure you have the latest genkernel before reporting bugs.' +print_info 1 '' +print_info 1 "Making external kernel drivers ${KERNEL_EXT_DRIVER}" + +# emerging external kernel modules +export KERNEL_DIR="${KERNEL_DIR}" +export KV_OUPUT="`basename ${KERNEL_DIR}`" +for x in ${KERNEL_EXT_DRIVER} +do + if [ "`echo $x | grep alsa`" != "" ] + then + print_info 2 "export ALSA_CARDS=${ALSA_CARDS}" 1 0 1 + export ALSA_CARDS="${ALSA_CARDS}" + fi + print_info 2 "executing emerge =${x}" 1 0 1 + emerge "=${x}" +done Have fun ;)

You should be able to do all of this and more by just running genkernel --callback="emerge $modules" or adding CMD_CALLBACK="..." to /etc/genkernel.conf; so I'm closing this as INVALID.
