Thank you for trying this out. |

You still have a lot to learn about the basics of ebuild. Alice is on |
| 13 |
the Kernel Team. She might have more to comment. |

The version number should be the same as upstream. No |
| 18 |
architecture-specific name, like 'x86, should be used in the name. |

EAPI=0 is no longer encourage in Gentoo. Check out EAPI-6 |

pkg_preinst is not used like this. Check out src_compile. |

This is not how Gentoo ebuild works, the build should prepare the source |
| 45 |
code. |

Kernel is a specific piece of software. Traditionally users take care |
| 49 |
of the final installation. But there is a genkernel helper to automate |
| 50 |
the process. Please check out |
