Re: [gentoo-amd64] Re: how to build xen kernel with genkernel 3.4.10?

Thank you. I really did make initramfs my self before, but since we have genkernel, I did not make it myself for a long time. And other reason I want to use genkernel rather than do it myself is that I do not have physical access to that server, I control it through SSH. So, if I failed...I need to

Burkett asked: Should I back up any particular files before doing "emerge =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r2"? You will simply be restoring the bits that depclean removed. No files should need to backed up. After the emerge you should be able to restart the emerge -eav world without problems

I'm guessing you did an "emerge --depclean" sometime after compiling the 2.6.22-r2 kernel and after emerging a new gentoo-sources that erased your make files, This is something depclean loves to do while leaving 99% of the older kernel source files intact. I think depclean leaves your .config fil
