I use the following shell script[1] to handle all my kernel compiling/installing. Once you have it setup to your liking it's a simple `kernmagic -v` and you're on your way. This works for me on my machine, completely untested anywhere else but if you have a Gentoo system with grub installed, /boot at (hd0,0), and /dev/sda3 mounted as / then it will probably work out of the box. Except for the default kernel location, which is in my home dir. Obviously if you're using an IDE disk then change sda3 to hd??. Read the beginning of the script and set those variables in a shell script called ~/.kernmagicrc and then you should be good to go. I take no responsibility if you lose your hair, your cat dies, blah blah blah. [1] http://web.uvic.ca/~sjs/kernmagic-0.4 -- Sami Samhuri
