10 If you're using genkernel, you can pass through the previous kernel
11 config options like this:
12
13 $ genkernel --kernel-config=/location/of/kernel/config/file --udev all
14
15 or my preference would be:
16
17 $ genkernel --kernel-config=/location/of/kernel/config/file --udev
18 -menuconfig all
19
20 With a manual config, you'll have to find your old config file, and
21 copy it into your new /usr/src/linux directory as .config.
