The ".config" tip, I wil do the same. What I > have to change in grub.conf ? Okay, so you compile gentoo-sources.2.6.15-r4 (just as a made-up example). So you copy arch/boot/bzImage to /boot/kernel-gentoo-2.6.15-r4, and copy .config to /boot/config-gentoo-2.6.15-r4. Then edit your /boot/grub/grub.conf and copy the whole stanza that was already there, including: title Linux-2.6.14-r2-2 win4lin enabled root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.14.2-w4l-2 root=/dev/hda2 Past it at the end. Change the title line to match the name you gave on the copy (Linux-2.6.15-r4), and the "kernel" line (/boot/kernel-2.6.15-r4). At the top of the file is the line: default 0 (or whichever one is active). Change the number to match the stanza you just added (remember they are numbered from zero, not one). Then save the file. > > thanx -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
