9 Normally there is a symlink from /boot/boot -> /boot, so that you can
10 use a /boot path even with a separate filesystem. However, I think it
11 is better to use the actual paths of the files,
12
13 So try specifying the paths without the /boot/ part. So your boot
14 entry would look like:

16 title Gentoo linux 2.6.17.-r7
17 kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/hda2

23 /usr/src/linux should be a symlink to a kernel _source_ tree, not a
24 compiled kernel. So probably more like /usr/src/linux ->
25 /usr/src/linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r7. This has nothing to do with booting
26 however.
