It sounds like you're doing the right thing. Could you do a:

$ ls -al /boot
$ cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
$ ls -al /usr/src

and then post the outputs to this list?

did you do a make menuconfig from scratch, or did you copy an 
old .config over from a prior release?

It looks like the latter may have happened and your .config does not 
agree with what is actually in the source tree.

Either that or you have a 2.6.19-r4 source tree thaqt is named 2.6.20

[gentoo-user] no matter what kernel version I compile, It says it's 2.6.19-r4

[Gabriel Rossetti]

Hello,

I emerge a kernel, let's say gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r5, I create the 
"linux" link, then cd inside
and compile/install it. I reboot and I get lots of errors from modules, 
I do a uname -a
and notice that it still says 2.6.19-r4, i then check in the /boot 
directory, and the links are correct,
then I check my grub.conf and it's correct, I then tried 
gentoo-sources-2.6.20, still the same thing.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Well, everything there looks just fine and how it should be, and you do 
appear to know exactly how to compile kernels.

It looks to me like you slipped up just this once and have a PEBKAC or a 
made a little typo - it happens :-)

If you run 'strings' on /boot/vmlinuz, is that really a 2.6.20 image? 
Did you verify that /usr/src/linux-2.6.20 really does contain a 2.6.20 
tree by examining the actual files?

There is some more info, if I do :

grep -r 2.6.19-gentoo-r4 linux

I get :

linux/include/linux/autoconf.h:#define CONFIG_UNAME_RELEASE 
"2.6.19-gentoo-r4"
linux/include/config/auto.conf:CONFIG_UNAME_RELEASE="2.6.19-gentoo-r4"

but my linux symlink is from the 2.6.20 kernel, not 2.6.19-r4.... :

ls -la

Maybe you are not putting the kernel on the real /boot and your grub and kernel images are all...
stored somewhere else, like the real /boot?

Do you have a seperate /boot partition and forgot to mount it before 
installing the kernel?

Yes, /boot _is_ apparently on a single partition (see grub config).
Question is: Is that partition mounted (or better: was it when
installing the kernel)?

Thanks for your reply Alan,

I copied over my .config and did a "make oldconfig"
then I had to choose the new options.

here's the output of "strings"

strings /boot/vmlinuz | grep 2.6
2.6.20-gentoo (root@delta9) #2 SMP PREEMPT Tue Feb 6 14:09:46 UTC 2007

I didn't check the kernel tree against my files because I'm not really 
sure how to do that :-)

Harm!

That's it, I never did that (not automaount /boot), but I decided to 
this time, so like you said, my /boot was not mounted
so everything was right, but at the same time it wasn't....That was a 
stupid mistake on my part.....

Thanks to all those that answered and sorry for bothering you all with 
this...

I think we've all made that mistake at some point!

No need to apologize, it's something to learn from. At least now when 
the next newbie makes the same mistake you are in a position to help 
them in return :-)

Just curious... but does genkernel automatically mount /boot? I use
genkernel, and have never had any issues, but I'm pretty sure that
I've always mounted /boot before running the genkernel command.

Anyone know?

(Guess I could see for myself, but I'm not in front of my Linux box at
the moment)

Yes, genkernel mounts /boot right after launched...

genkernel *conditionally* mounts /boot if /etc/genkernel.conf contains 
MOUNTBOOT="yes"

It can be unset with the result that /boot will not be mounted 
automatically
