19 From inspecting the ebuild of genkernel 3.4.23.1 I can tell that
20 genkernel 3.4.23.1 is meant to work with busybox 1.19.3 out of the box.
21 So if genkernel asks for 1.18.1 that means you still have "1.18.1" in
22 your genkernel config. Either a call to etc-update is outstanding or
23 you actively decided for that version of busybox in the past. In the
24 latter case, just get busybox-1.18.1.tar.bz somewhere and drop it in
25 /var/cache/genkernel/src/. I hope that helped.
