Sorry that no one got back to you in time. Is this feature request still valid? If I do not hear anything in two weeks I may close this bug. I believe it will be a nice to have feature.... If I interpreted your request correctly, this patch may help: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/genkernel.git;a=commitdiff;h=5d0aca27018a763ca39cb3a9a9137807cdb66931 The call to "make firmware_install" is currently placed between compilation of the kernel itself and its modules: * >> Compiling 2.6.36-gentoo-r4 bzImage... * >> Installing firmware ('make firmware_install') due to CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL != y... * >> Compiling 2.6.36-gentoo-r4 modules... The experimental branch (containing the patch) is exposed by genkernel-99999 (five nines). Please give it a spin and report back, how it works for you. |
