works by configuring a kernel nearly identically to the way the installation CD kernel is configured. This means that when is used to build the kernel, the system will generally detect hardware it was built for support with at boot-time, just like the installation CD does. may be a useful solution for those users who may not be comfortable compiling their own kernels. Note that genkernel does not automatically generate a custom kernel configuration the hardware on which it is being run.
