The symlink has to be made manually by you. Some people like to have multiple kernel trees for testing different things so the ebuilds do not mess with your symlinks. You can manually add a couple of commands to /etc/conf.d/local.start to make the symlink at boot time, uname -r will give you the version of the running kernel > I assume I should > only unmerge 2.4.19-rc10 after succesfully compiling 2.4.20-rc1. Unmerging the kernel will only remove the sources in /usr/src/linux-2.4.19-rc10 not the actual kernel that you installed into /boot. But it is a good idea to keep it around until you get your new kernel successfully built and booted. > Also.
