_append_ the lines at the end of grub.conf, like this: default 0 timeout 30 splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title=Gentoo Linux (genkernel) root (hd0,0) kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/hde3 hdd=ide-scsi initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r7 title=Gentoo Linux, my own new kernel gentoo-r8 root (hd0,0) kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/hde3 hdd=ide-scsi initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r8 -- mathieu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
