I've never seen this before, either. Thanks for the tip, Marc. |

Daniel, how do you use genkernel? I've found that I need to run "make |
| 26 |
oldconfig" or, my preference, "make silentoldconfig" by hand before I |
| 27 |
ever use genkernel. I copy my old .config to the new kernel directory, |
| 28 |
run silentoldconfig, then I run genkernel. Is that the problem you're |
| 29 |
facing or do you see changes between invocations of genkernel? |
