Gentoo Linux utility to compile and install kernels.
- Automatically compile and install a generic kernel:
sudo genkernel all
- Build and install the bzImage|initramfs|kernel|ramdisk only:
sudo genkernel {{bzImage|initramfs|kernel|ramdisk}}
- Apply changes to the kernel configuration before compiling and installing:
sudo genkernel --menuconfig all
- Generate a kernel with a custom name:
sudo genkernel --kernname={{custom_name}} all
- Use a kernel source outside of the default directory
/usr/src/linux:
sudo genkernel --kerneldir={{path/to/directory}} all
