Hey there,


the current genkernel docs refer to variables and parameters that do not
exist any more.  Please consider applying the attached patch for me.

This table summarizes my changes:

  OLD                     NEW

  --no-initrdmodules      --no-ramdisk-modules
                          --all-ramdisk-modules

  --debuglevel            --loglevel
  --debugfile             --logfile

  DEBUGLEVEL              LOGLEVEL

Best,
