ehh?? don't know what /rr-moved is, and there is no reason |
| 9 |
why x86-isogen.sh should be in there at all, they're not on |
| 10 |
mine (for amd64 and were not there when I was testing for x86). |

Each kernel has a -nofb variant, so if you have 2 kernels, one named |
| 31 |
gentoo, the other smp, they can boot with |
| 32 |
: gentoo, smp, gentoo-nofb, and smp-nofb |
| 33 |
And they can hit F1 at the isolinux prompt to see these kernel options |
| 34 |
as well, as that file is auto-generated that it shows. |
| 35 |
Obviously this is strictly x86/amd64 info. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Now the other parameters are going to be the same as they were before, |
| 38 |
stuff like 'doscsi', 'dousb', etc ... as that stuff shouldn't have changed. |
| 39 |
The new genkernel still honors those, as does the baselayout/autoconfig. |

> - Will keymap selection be integrated in the boot-process and if so, how? |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
it is NOT currently. Someone needs to step up that knows anything about |
| 44 |
keymaps, and provide the necessary info, as I don't have a clue (as most |
| 45 |
people like me in the US). |

> - Is LVM2 and EVMS supported ? |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Yes, LVM2 and EVMS2 are included on the LiveCD. |

> - What kernel sources will be available on the 2-CD LiveCD set? |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
err, one I can't answer, I assume this is a question for each arch?? |
| 54 |
for amd64, we're only doing gentoo-dev-sources as that's the only |
| 55 |
kernel we can support. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
> - What architectures does genkernel support currently? |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
everything except PPC pretty much. I think the PPC people have |
| 60 |
pretty much refused to commit their profile to that even though |
| 61 |
I've asked on numerous occasions. Everyone seems to defer to |
| 62 |
someone else. It's really really easy guys! This genkernel was |
| 63 |
designed to be multi-arch! Please commit to gentoo/src/genkernel_bradmssw |
| 64 |
asap! |
