[gentoo-dev] Cannot complete install of the v1.1a

[Arturas Baranauskas]

    Hello.

    I have a problem with the installing of Gentoo Linux v1.1a.
    I did everything as it was described on your web page, I just
    skiped sections "from stage1 to stage2" and "from stage2 to
    stage3" - the documentation says that it's not needed.

    Then I set up the GRUB, reboot Gentoo Linux, and I get
    error in this line (/boot/grub/menu.lst file):

    kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda6

    It says that "a file cannot be found" or something simmilar.
    I checked the /boot directory - there is no file named bzImage.

    What am I doing wrong ? Please, help me.

    Thank you in advance.

    Best regards,
    Arturas Baranauskas

You probably forgot to copy the kernel from 
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot/bzImage,
so do it now.

ps. Don't forget to install modules either

I would also make sure that you have mounted /boot if it is a separate
partition and not auto mounted.
