13 To port to other arches:
15 # cd /usr/share/genkernel
16 # cp -Rp x86 ${myarch}
17 # mkdir /usr/share/genkernel/pkg/${myarch}
19 Modify what is needed in the /usr/share/genkernel/${myarch}
20 directory, as well making a generic kernel-config.
22 IMPORTANT KERNEL NOTES:
23 - You MUST have /dev/pts turned on.
24 - To boot genkernel properly, the kernel config must have
25 Initial RAM disk support.
27 BOOTING A KERNEL WITH INITRD:
30 root= needs to point to your root partition
31 vga= should be the resolution you want your screen. 0x317 is
32 1024x768 - 16bpp and you'll get a pretty splash if
36 title=2.6.0 [ Genkernel ]
38 kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.6.0-gentoo root=/dev/hda3 vga=0x317
