OK so wait - you say to NOT have /boot mounted during "normal" use. Does "normal" use include compiling a new kernel?
First let me clarify that I USED to have /boot mounted all the time. When I tried Gentoo, the install docs suggest that it's not necessary and I understand that they're correct, so I figured, what's the harm ??
In other words.. do I mount /boot when I run genkernel?? And by watching the genkernel output doesnt it just basically DO the same things as the "old-fashioned way" ?
I'm not sure what all genkernel does, but yes, it basically does 5-6 or more steps for you. Now, does it run "mount /boot" ?? I don't know. :-) The last two steps I do when compiling a kernel are 'mount /boot && make install'.
And /boot is in my fstab.. but either way.. does that really matter?
It's in my /etc/fstab also, but mine has a "noauto" flag specified. In this case, it just saves you from typing "mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /boot".
Just an observation.. I may be wrong.. but this is still driving me nuts.
I see from your other post that you've solved it now too. :-)
