Change log (top to bottom in patch):
- Remove obsolete disclaimer
- Use simpler English (no "akin", no "privy")
- Remove misleading note on module parameters
- Remove notes on Gentoo Reference Platform
- Mention --symlink
- Mention incompleteness of options/flags, point to better sources
- Indicate incompleteness by repeated addition of "..."
- Fix misleading highlighting of --no-ramdisk-modules
- Mention --disklabel, --iscsi, --multipath
- Remove outdated notes on root=/dev/ram0 and init=/linuxrc
- Migrate from hda to sda

All of this applies to genkernel stable.

Thanks for consideration.

Best,



Sebastian

Found a typo in genkernel guide:

s/completel/complete

Genkernel's guide describes the use of option --lvm2, but:

# genkernel --lvm2

* Please use --lvm, as --lvm2 is deprecated.

Shouldn't this be updated in the guide?

Cheers!

Same applies for EVMS:

# genkernel --evms2

* Please use --evms, as --evms2 is deprecated.

Good catch. I have fixed just this in genkernel [1] but genkernel.xml
still needs a patch.
