It seems correct to me. Now you have to install the kernel image. |
| 15 |
Now the kernel image is compiled and can be found in |
| 16 |
/usr/src/linux/arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage |
| 17 |
(replace x86_64 with your arch. This is the gentoo-amd64 list, therefore |
| 18 |
I suppose it is x86_64) |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Installing the image means to inform the boot loader (grub, lilo, |
| 21 |
whatever) where to find it. It is supposed as "best practice" to put |
| 22 |
the kernel images in "/boot/" and run the boot loader so it can rewrite |
| 23 |
the boot sector of the device with information about the new kernel. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Let me ask you something: How did you install your previous kernel - by |
| 26 |
the live-cd installer, by genkernel or manually? Because my previous |
| 27 |
(real) reply involves manual installation with lilo? |

P.S. |

I apologize for the empty reply. I pressed unintentionally "send". Sorry |
| 35 |
about this. ;-( |
