13 bzimage would likely be a typo of bzImage

22 did ls-l output contain a real file, not link, named
23 kernel-2.6.15-gentoo-r7? for this grub to work, it should

25 assuming you ran make for your new kernel in /usr/src/linux
26 after checking that:
27 ls -l /usr/src/linux
28 output showed:
29 /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r7

32 cd /usr/src/linux
33 cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.15-gentoo-r7
34 cp .config /boot/config--2.6.15-gentoo-r7
