You do not have a kernel image in /boot. Are you actually _following_ the guide that you posted a link to originally, because you seem to have missed[1]: """ When the kernel has finished compiling, copy the kernel image to /boot. Use whatever name you feel is appropriate for your kernel choice and remember it as you will need it later on when you configure your bootloader. Remember to replace kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r5 with the name and version of your kernel. Code Listing 13: Installing the kernel # cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r5 """ > It looks to me quite funny. It seems continue endlessly. boot was > symlink to "." No, this is normal. It is to allow people to use hd(X,Y)/boot/kernel, even if hd(X,Y) is the "/boto" filesystem. > There was no kernel nor bzimage there. Yes, you need to compile and install a kernel. > > PS: please stop top-posting. > > Sorry I don't follow. Please advise. This is webmail direct from > Yahoo site.

It means that if somebody wants to read this thread in the archives, they will have to read it starting at the bottom for it to make sense. It also means you are sending out a lot more text to the other subscribers on this list than you need to be, because you are sending my message in it's entirety...and the other subscribers have already received that. On this list, bottom-posting or interleaved replies is the normal format. So for yahoo, first delete out any parts of the quoted message that you are not responding to. Then insert your responses below.
