Besides, I tried to : rebuild my kernel from 3.4 using 'config' et al, but it didn't compile : because the PATH was wrong and it was using the 3.x compiler/linker. I agree with this. I think that creating /GENERIC isn't a big deal and I kinda like it. It is certainly less confusing than some of the alternatives.
