README

DEPENDANCIES:

- GCC and binutils
- GNU Bash

USAGE:
See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/genkernel.xml or
issue ``genkernel --help''.

PORTING:
To port to other arches:

# cd /usr/share/genkernel
# cp -Rp x86 ${myarch}
# mkdir /usr/share/genkernel/pkg/${myarch}

Modify what is needed in the /usr/share/genkernel/${myarch}
directory, as well making a generic kernel-config.

IMPORTANT KERNEL NOTES:
- You MUST have /dev/pts turned on.
- If you want Bootsplash, you MUST have VESAFB enabled for 2.6,
other framebuffers won't work. You MUST also enable
"video mode selection support" and "Framebuffer Console support"
- From gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8 and above, bootsplash has been replaced
with gensplash. Gensplash has the same kernel configuration requirements
as bootsplash, but works properly with any framebuffer device.
- To build a kernel with Genkernel you must have
"Block devices->Loopback device support"
"Block devices->RAM disk support"
- To boot genkernel properly, the kernel config must have
RAM disk support and Initial RAM disk support. You should
also set your "Default RAM disk size to 8192"

BOOTING A KERNEL WITH INITRD:

GRUB:
real_root= needs to point to your root partition
root= needs to point to the ramdisk (should stay at /dev/ram0)
init= needs to point to the linuxrc file to execute on the ramdisk
vga= should be the resolution you want your screen. 0x317 is
1024x768 - 16bpp and you'll get a pretty bootsplash if
configured properly

GRUB EXAMPLE ENTRY:
title=2.6.0 [ Genkernel ]
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.6.0-gentoo root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/hda3 vga=0x317
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-2.6.0-gentoo
