Normally there is a symlink from /boot/boot -> /boot, so that you can
use a /boot path even with a separate filesystem.  However, I think it
is better to use the actual paths of the files,

So try specifying the paths without the /boot/ part.  So your boot
entry would look like:

title Gentoo linux 2.6.17.-r7
   kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/hda2

/usr/src/linux should be a symlink to a kernel _source_ tree, not a
compiled kernel.  So probably more like /usr/src/linux ->
/usr/src/linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r7.  This has nothing to do with booting
however.

Um, yeah.
