Hello Per, |

It looks like genkernel wants a valid kernel config that you'll have to |
4 |
generate. I don't think that anybody uses genkernel on hppa. It's |
5 |
almost not tested besides for livecd creation. |
6 |
|

I really recommand that you compile your kernel yourself. Even if it |
8 |
seems painfull, it's not that hard. If you have any issue, you can join |
9 |
#gentoo-hppa on irc.freenode.net and there will certainly be ppl to help you out. |

Honestly, I really don't feel like supporting genkernel for hppa. It |
12 |
usually produce useless kernels or broken one for your model. |

I whish you good luck ! |
