Hi Alan, Thanks for the reply. |

First attempt at install was using emerge. This installs version 1.17.1. |
| 4 |
This didn't work, so I removed it, and installed version 2.00 from Git, in |
| 5 |
an attempt to fix the problem. |
| 6 |
|

BOTH produce the same error - unable to find a kernel due to the naming |
| 8 |
issue described previously. |
| 9 |
So firstly I need to know whether Genkernel is incorrectly naming the |
| 10 |
kernel, or whether Rear is looking for the wrong name. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Cheers, |
| 13 |
