ChangeLog Run the getty commands with proper arguments so they don't die immediately 16 years ago
HACKING Adding a HACKING file, which I will use to document the various phases of genkernel so we can split up the default functions and also so we can provide hooks into the various phases for external addons. 16 years ago
README Removing bootsplash support since it hasn't been in a kernel we've supported for years now, causes confusion amongst users, and really wasn't being used and caused issues with 2.6/initrd creation in some corner cases. 18 years ago
TODO Removed a large chunk of 2.4 kernel support. This will still require some fairly extensive cleaning to completely remove, but I'd say that without a shadow of a doubt, genkernel will not function on 2.4 kernels. 17 years ago
gen_arch.sh Cleanup remaining references to ${ARCH}/ without arch/ prefix 17 years ago

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.

    "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 splash 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
