I emerge a kernel, let's say gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r5, I create

and notice that it still says 2.6.19-r4, i then check in the /boot
directory, and the links are correct,
then I check my grub.conf and it's correct, I then tried
gentoo-sources-2.6.20, still the same thing.
It sounds like you're doing the right thing. Could you do a:
$ ls -al /boot
$ cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
$ ls -al /usr/src
and then post the outputs to this list?

Hi Ric,
yes, here is what you asked for :
[snip listings]
PS
I have not changed my way of compiling / installing the kernel for at
least 4 years (since switching to 2.6 kernel series)
Well, everything there looks just fine and how it should be, and you do
appear to know exactly how to compile kernels.
It looks to me like you slipped up just this once and have a PEBKAC or a
made a little typo - it happens :-)
If you run 'strings' on /boot/vmlinuz, is that really a 2.6.20 image?
Did you verify that /usr/src/linux-2.6.20 really does contain a 2.6.20
tree by examining the actual files?

here's the output of "strings"
strings /boot/vmlinuz | grep 2.6
2.6.20-gentoo ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) #2 SMP PREEMPT Tue Feb 6 14:09:46 UTC 2007
I didn't check the kernel tree against my files because I'm not really
sure how to do that :-)
