I believe I had a problem similar to this a while ago. Turned out there was an |

undocumented env variable that needed to be set before genkernel was run... |
| 10 |
Not sure if the same issue still exists tho. |

But many users want to be able to simply change hardware and have it work |
| 18 |
automaticly. Sure, you could probably preset your configuration and gain a |
| 19 |
bit of speed, but then you could need to change something if you want to |
| 20 |
change your hardware. Either way, there's a sacrifice. That's why there's an |
| 21 |
option. :) |
