That sounds good. I've always configured my own kernels but it can take |
| 59 |
a few tries to get a bootable one. Even tho you were trying to use |
| 60 |
genkernel, if it isn't working right, borrowing a config from a known |
| 61 |
working setup can allow you to build your own kernel manually. It may |
| 62 |
even be faster than using genkernel, which I've read works in most cases. |
| 63 |

| 64 |
Either way, whatever works and gets you going. |
