Updating the kernel today, I referenced that piece of the |
| 2 |
documentation and borrowed this command from it: |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
genkernel --bootloader=grub all |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
However, not only did it not update grub.conf but grub.conf |
| 7 |
disappeared entirely following the successful build. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I did find this in /var/log/genkernel.log: |
| 10 |
|

Note the line that says: |

So whats going on here? |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Further I'm confused by the rest of it too. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
It says if I want hardware detection I MUST tell my bootloader to use |
| 51 |
the intitramfs blah blah , but no clue at all as to how one might do |
| 52 |
this. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
I'm pretty sure I need some new kind of grub.conf but what should it |
| 55 |
look like.. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
I've just appended what I think might be adequate to the original |
| 58 |
lines.... yeah I saved a backup.. |
