As I wrote in my first answer to this thread (which somehow didn't make it to the list, yet), the problem is (IMHO) with /boot not beeing mounted at all.
Yes, if you followed the Gentoo install instructions closely /boot is not mounted during normal operation, so if you install a new kernel it will write /boot/grub/grub.conf (or /boot/grub/menu.lst) to your root partition, not your boot partition. Grub is instructed to use (hd0,0) or whatever your particular boot partition is, so it's not going to see the /boot directory on your root partition - mount /boot and re-install the new kernel version and it'll probably boot fine. Then you can clean up the version of /boot that's on your root partition (verify that /boot is not mounted first!). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
