/etc/genkernel.conf

MENUCONFIG="no"
MRPROPER="no"
CLEAN="no"
BOOTSPLASH="no"
SAVE_CONFIG="yes"
DEBUGLEVEL=5
BOOTLOADER="grub"
USECOLOR="yes"


cd /usr/src/linux
zcat /proc/config.gz > .config

genkernel --kernname=WhateverFitsMyMood all


the above gives you you the power to configure your kernel to suit
your needs, -and- makes genkernel useful as a time-saving 'ok, just

Of course it did help when that bug in genkernel mid2005 was fixed ;),
a trunicated grub.conf is no fun.
