Re: [gentoo-amd64] Re: Re: kernel config file for A8N-SLI Premium

[Steve Herber]

All good information about learning to build a kernel, and I have
been doing it for years.  But on Gentoo, I have been using genkernel.  I
am tired of the process. Genkernel is a nice wrapper around the build
process and still lets me configure the kernel almost any way I want.

Something has happened to the images built by genkernel so I don't know
what option I need to lock down in any kernel I build.  Yes, I could
turn on every feature I can imagine is needed - sounds just like my -r5
working kernel config - OR I can ask for a config from someone else that
has figured out a good configuration for the motherboard that I have.
Again checking the gentoo bug list, it looks like there might be a
problem with genkernel 3.3.11.

So, does anyone have a working 2.6.15-r7 kernel config for an A8N-SLI 
Premium motherboard?
