6 This grabs the configuration from the running kernel (the one from
7 the CD you booted from), not the configuration you may have had
8 earlier on the system you chrooted into. Did you tweak that earlier
9 configuration? Do you have a backup of that config somewhere?

13 Does this also install the kernel onto the /boot partition? (Just
14 asking, as I don't know genkernel.) Are name and version numbers
15 in /boot/grub/menu.lst exactly the same as the kernel and initrd
16 stored in /boot?

20 It said "/dev/sda3 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced"? If you
21 run the same command again, is /dev/sda3 now clean?

26 But since then a new kernel source tree might have been installed,
27 which you might not have compiled and installed yet. So the
28 version numbers may have changed.
