X-Archives-Salt: a9ba7b44-c0ab-4724-a1cd-c992d64f4bd0 X-Archives-Hash: f00e1a9cb971cf2b953c2362d733a1d4 Does anyone think it would be possible to create at least an initial kernel .config based on dmesg output? My train of thought is for gentoo installation and initial emerge of linux sources. If gentoo could check the dmesg output for what failed to load (when the system is booted from the rc3 install CD for example) and see what succeded then output a .config into the /usr/src/linux directory it would go along with Gentoo's ultra coolness factor. :) If something like that is possble and not sci-fi I would say it belongs in the ebuild script of gentoo-sources (and/or possibly all source scripts) and invoked ONLY during the initial install of course. Far fetched? No way? Or should I pose it as an enhancement on bugs.gentoo.org? Anyone? Thanks, Robert -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
