Unpack unionfs-fuse with -j 		16 years ago
arch Enabling CONFIG_WGET and CONFIG_FEATURE_TAR_BZIP2 for initial support of gentoo bug 211976 16 years ago
defaults Add back (modified) unionfs code in linuxrc 16 years ago
modules Added the modules directory, which will be used to store the built-in modules and also for external entities to add their own modules and hooks. 17 years ago
netboot Remove some unnecessary copyright dates from a few files so we don't keep forgetting to update them when we modify the files. 18 years ago

AUTHORS Adding Andrew and Robin to AUTHORS. 17 years ago
ChangeLog Unpack unionfs-fuse with -j 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
gen_cmdline.sh Add dummy handler for --config in gen_cmdline.sh for bug 237541 17 years ago
gen_compile.sh Unpack unionfs-fuse with -j 16 years ago
gen_configkernel.sh Remove a few more 2.4 kernel support remnants 17 years ago
gen_determineargs.sh Call arch_replace and cache_replace on fuse/unionfs-fuse vars 16 years ago
gen_funcs.sh Move distfile cache to /var/cache/genkernel/src and add check to make sure all distfiles are present 17 years ago
gen_initramfs.sh Add append_fuse() and append_unionfs_fuse() functions 16 years ago
gen_moddeps.sh Remove a few more 2.4 kernel support remnants 17 years ago
gen_package.sh Removed all references to an initrd and renamed most initr{d,amfs} stuff to simply 'ramdisk' to simplify things for the future. 17 years ago
genkernel Actually call compile_fuse() and compile_unionfs_fuse() 16 years ago
genkernel.8 Fix typo in man page, butt -> but 17 years ago
genkernel.conf Unpack unionfs-fuse with -j 16 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
