[gentoo-embedded] How to create GNAP kernel package manually?

[James L Henrickson]

I'm having trouble building an x86 kernel on an x86_64 system.  The GNAP 
guide says to use genkernel, but that doesn't work.  Even if I use 
ARCH=i386 and --arch-override, the build fails, apparently because 
genkernel knows I'm running an x86_64 system.  I can build a new kernel 
manually, so it appears to be a problem with genkernel.  Several 'net 
searches turned up people that have had this problem, but I haven't 
found a solution.

Assuming I have to build the kernel manually, I am faced with the issue 
of creating a kernel package and a modules package that can be used with 
GNAP.  I read something about tarring up the modules directory, but I 
didn't find anything about how to build the kernel package.  I suspect 
initrd comes into play somewhere along the way, too.

Any help would be appreciated.

Jim
