Dale,
There isn't a reason in the world why I'd get mad at you! :-))))
I guess I'm not sure I know what you mean by 'when I tried to copy
it the old way'. I think my kernel management is far less
sophisticated than what I'm reading the real Linux guys here do. I'm
embarrased to say that the only thing in my /boot directory is a bunch
of bzImage files and a grub subdirectory. I have nothing else.
Basically I build the kernel using make && make modules_install and
then copy the kernel by hand using
cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.6.27-gentoo-r8
or whatever the kernel is. I add that to grub.conf and I'm done. works for me.
Possibly you've done more or less the same thing but using i386
instead of x86_64 or x86? I think the i386/boot/bzImage file has
actually been a link to the x86 directory for awhile now. I looked in
an older 2.6.23 kernel on this machine and found an i386 directory but
didn't in the 2.6.24 kernel so I guess that's when things changed.
Hope this helps,
Mark
