Somehow net-wireless/madwifi-driver has broken on me (0.1_pre20050420-r1),
so I thought I'd recompile it. No luck. So I thought, maybe my kernel source
was different than my actual kernel (2.6.10-gentoo-r6), so I ran:
"make bzImage modules modules_install"
Copied and renamed the bzImage file over to /boot and all that jazz.
But I don't think I'm getting the right kernel as the date for my kernel is
today, but my vmlinuz is older.
How is that symlink created? And how is the vmlinuz-2.6.10-gentoo-r6
created? What happens if I rm that symlink or the file? Is my system
unbootable?

I don't see any mention of vmlinuz in my grub.conf file:
