Sorry if this is a stupid question, but for 4.9.6-r1 should I use the 4.9.0 config? Do I just drop it in the /usr/src/linux directory and start tweaking?
Split from Pappy's preconfigs! as its developed into a help thread of its own

Astronome ... you would still need to run 'make oldconfig' after copying to /usr/src/linux/.config, but yes the config for 4.9.0 should be fine for 4.9.6.

Astronome,
Use the 4.9.0 config as a starting point
Drop it into 4.9.6-r1.
Then in 4.9.6-r1, run and answer the questions, if any.
Now you can start tweaking.
There are no stupid questions, except the one you don't ask.

I dunno what most of this stuff is, so I'll just take the defaults. Obviously I need the Gentoo, Portage and OpenRC support.

Astronome,
For new options, its worth reading the help - press ?
There is also a hint to the default answer in the question.
| Code: | Gentoo Linux support (GENTOO_LINUX) [Y/n/?] (NEW)
...
OpenRC, runit and other script based systems and managers (GENTOO_LINUX_INIT_SCRIPT) [Y/n/?] (NEW)
systemd (GENTOO_LINUX_INIT_SYSTEMD) [N/y/?] (NEW) |
notice the uppercase letter.

Oh yeah, that's much easier than looking it up in menuconfig in another terminal.
Anyways, I applied my changes to pappy's preconfig and got a kernel panic. I did everything in this article, making sure ext2/3/4 and SATA controller were configured in the kernel and not as modules, and the grub config was correct. Any ideas what else could have been wrong? |

Astronome,
Post the text of the panic, just the human readable string, your lspci output and entire kernel .config file.
The .config is too big for a post. wgetpaste will put it onto a pastebin for you.

should be move to its own thread to keep pappy thread just about the seeds and not about supporting user failure to use one  |
