说明
genkernel is a Gentoo Linux utility that automates the kernel compilation and installation process. It builds a generic kernel with broad hardware support, similar to kernels found in binary distributions. The tool handles configuring, compiling, and installing the kernel along with generating an initramfs (initial ramdisk) required for booting. It can automatically detect hardware and enable appropriate kernel modules. genkernel reads configuration from /etc/genkernel.conf and supports various filesystem, encryption, and boot features through command-line options.
参数

- Build kernel, modules, and initramfs.
- bzImage
- Build only the compressed kernel image.
- initramfs
- Build only the initial ramdisk.
- kernel
- Build only the kernel and modules.
- ramdisk
- Build only the ramdisk.
- --menuconfig
- Run menuconfig before compilation.
- --nconfig
- Run nconfig (ncurses-based) before compilation.
- --kernname _NAME_
- Tag the kernel and initramfs with _NAME_.
- --kerneldir _DIR_
- Use kernel source from _DIR_ instead of /usr/src/linux.
- --makeopts _OPTS_
- Pass options to make (e.g., -j4).
- --no-clean
- Skip `make clean` before compilation.
- --no-mrproper
- Skip `make mrproper` before compilation, preserving the existing kernel config.
