I've no idea how it broke, but after an emerge --sync, a kernel (gentoo-sources) update was there. After I compiled the kernel, I did the usual "make modules_install && make install". I edited grub.conf only to the point of changing the booted kernel to the new one (just a matter of changing -r1 to -r2 at the end of the kernel filename). I reboot, Grub stops working. It just displays "GRUB" and hangs there.
I normally don't edit my grub.conf, instead I have entries for vmlinuz and vmlinuz.old (make install updates these). When I do edit grub.conf, I always run grub-install afterwards. I don't know if this is necessary, but it's my habit... HTH, Roy
