Okay, I was able to edit GRUB to make things the way they should be, but I
still am unable to boot the system.

I'm not sure what's wrong...  The details of the install so far:

hda1 -> Boot
hda2 -> Swap
hda3 -> Blank  (When I figure out how, I want to mount this partition as
        /extra )
hdb1 -> /

My /mnt/gentoo/boot/grub/grub.conf file:

default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.g2
title=Gentoo Linux 2.4.24
  root (hd0,0)
  kernal (hd1,0)/boot/kernal-2.4.24
  root=/dev/hdb1 vga=794

The problem that I'm seeing:  When I hit return (or wait for the system to
auto-load) I briefly get a blank screen and less than a second later, I'm
returned to the GRUB menu.

In taking another look at things, I cd'd /boot and didn't see a
/kernal-2.4.24.  (For that matter, I didn't se a /kernal*) But I didn't
notice any errors when building the system...

Somehow I'm guessing I managed to skip a step.  Any idea what I missed?

Rather than manually confiuring the kernal, I used genkernal.  So it
should be there somewhere...

Thanks again,

Krikket
(Hopeing that I won't have to redo a bunch of the build...)
