[gentoo-user] grub2 boots only older kernel

[James <wireless@tampabay.rr.com>]

Hello,

> grub 2 trouble?
I have 6 different kernels. that show up in /boot and in the grub2 boot menu
of choices.

The lastest version that works is 3.13.6

I cannot get any since then to boot the (FX8350) gentoo system. Very weird.
I even copied of the .config file from 3.13.6 to 3.14.4, answered the 
questions and issued:


make && make modules_install
cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-3.14.4-gentoo
cp System.map /boot/System.map-3.14.4-gentoo
cp .config /boot/config-3.14.4-gentoo
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

/etc/default/grub   has:

GRUB_DEFAULT=kernel-3.14.4-gentoo
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=3
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=true


I need ideas as where to look, what to fix  to get a newer kernel
booting from grub2.  Not any changes since 3.13 series was first used:
(3.13.1) Note this problem started with kernel 3.13.7-gentoo and has
persisted through 3.14.4.  I have even diff the .config files [1]


stumped needing a nudge,
James
