You don't. |

The entire point of genkernel is to make it easy for newbies to |
| 18 |
compile a kernel, complete with all needed modules, lvm & raid |
| 19 |
support if needed, maybe a splash and an initramfs. I suppose |
| 20 |
you *could* use the correct options to genkernel to do it, but |
| 21 |
if you are creating a monolithic kernel then you must know what |
| 22 |
you are doing, so what you want is: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
cd /usr/src/linux |
| 25 |
make menuconfig && make |
| 26 |
copy kernel, System.map, .config and whatever else you like to |
| 27 |
keep to /boot; edit grub.conf |
| 28 |
reboot |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Using genkernel for this is overkill, much like a bulldozer is |
| 31 |
overkill for digging one hole to plant a rosebush :-) |
