8 no,

10 very obviously they try to help and YOU fail to give the information.
11
12 mount /boot
13 Make grub.conf point to vmlinuz
14 like this:
15
16 title=2.6
17 root (hd0,0)
18 kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 gentoo=nodevfs noexec=on
19 nmi_watchdog=1
20
21 for security reasons, a second entry like this is a smart idea:
22
23 title=2.6.old
24 root (hd0,0)
25 kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz.old root=/dev/sda3 gentoo=nodevfs noexec=on
26 nmi_watchdog=1
27
28 because make install copys the bzimage, renames it, adds the version to the
29 name, creates a vmlinuz symlink and a vmlinuz.old symlink to the old kernel
30 version, that had vmlinuz point to it. And it copys System.map (which is
31 important.
32
33 make a symlink from /usr/src/yourusedsources (like 2.6.16.14)
34 to /usr/src/linux
35 make menuconfig
36 make all modules_install install
37 umount /boot
38 reboot.

40 What happens?
