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? alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?

Yes, /boot _is_ apparently on a single partition (see grub config).

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?
