Its a matter of choice, you may stick with the kernel option, but then |
| 12 |
you loose the ability to simply update your modules when new versions |
| 13 |
come, but you gain the fact that is builtin and some claim faster and |
| 14 |
more consistent (this is not my opinion, only something I`ve read over |
| 15 |
and over). |

Your old kernel probably had this support too, but disabled, now you |
| 18 |
got a new one, and the default configuration for genkernel compiles |
| 19 |
it. You may simply: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
genkernel --no-clean --menuconfig kernel |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
And disable the builtin stuff (note the --no-clean that saves the time |
| 24 |
recompiling all the stuff and only gets the new config, but after that |
| 25 |
I advice a full recompile, I use it for quick tests). |

If you want to keep using the ebuild instead of the kernel, you MUST |
| 53 |
disable it at the kernel... Simply, choose and go... |
