Yes, if you followed the Gentoo install instructions closely /boot is |
| 8 |
not mounted during normal operation, so if you install a new kernel it |
| 9 |
will write /boot/grub/grub.conf (or /boot/grub/menu.lst) to your root |
| 10 |
partition, not your boot partition. Grub is instructed to use (hd0,0) |
| 11 |
or whatever your particular boot partition is, so it's not going to |
| 12 |
see the /boot directory on your root partition - mount /boot and |
| 13 |
re-install the new kernel version and it'll probably boot fine. Then |
| 14 |
you can clean up the version of /boot that's on your root partition |
| 15 |
(verify that /boot is not mounted first!). |
