This might be a rather lengthy explanation, so make sure you have about 15 minutes on your hands before diving in. However, the explanation shouldn't take long - I've never actually compiled/installed/used a kernel before. Okay, enough apologising in advance: down to business. I know that it correctly compiles the kernel. I put a new name for the new kernel (test1) to try and ID it as it floats about all the other kernels I'm too scared to delete. # make install Sticks it into /boot. /boot now reads System.map config.old System.map-2.6.15-gentoo-r1 grub System.map-2.6.15-gentoo-r1.old initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 System.map-2.6.15-gentoo-r1test1 kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 System.map-2.6.15-gentoo-r1test1.old lost+found System.map.old vmlinuz boot vmlinuz-2.6.15-gentoo-r1 config vmlinuz-2.6.15-gentoo-r1.old config-2.6.15-gentoo-r1 vmlinuz-2.6.15-gentoo-r1test1 config-2.6.15-gentoo-r1.old vmlinuz-2.6.15-gentoo-r1test1.old config-2.6.15-gentoo-r1test1 vmlinuz.old config-2.6.15-gentoo-r1test1.old Not terribly exciting. However, I went to /boot/grub/menu.lst and it reads as such: localhost boot # cat ./grub/menu.lst default 0 timeout 7 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title=Gentoo Linux root (hd0,0) kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3 initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 The most concerning part is the last three lines. For any kernel, it appears to demand the kernel itself. If you'll refer back to # ls /boot then you'll notice that kernel-2.6.15-gentoo-r1test1 isn't there. Nor is the initrd. I don't know where they might be, or if they're not there then how to generate them. If I can find out those two things then I should be able to test my new kernel and see if it actually worked.
