25 Well, I don't know what all that would mean. What kernel sources are you
26 using? Why not boot back into your LiveCD, mount and chroot into your gentoo
27 partitions and re-compile your kernel manually instead of using Genkernel.
28 Go through all of menuconfig on each menu, remove all the unneeded items that
29 Genkernel enabled and save your changes then recompile your kernel and
30 modules. If you need help, running "make" help shows a nice list of your
31 options.
