Thanks for your advice.

I suppose "arch/i386/boot/bzImage" will be created after "make modules_install"
No, "make bzImage" actually creates that file. The instructions have seemingly always been written this way and they've stuck. It's not really important either way.
Noted with thanks
# cd /lib/modules
# touch 2.4.20-gentoo-r7/video/nvidia.o
(should be enough to protect r7's nvidia modules, but it would be better to
# emerge nvidia-kernel
What is nvidia-kernel?
3. optional: if you use nvidia-kernel
Do you use an nVidia video card ?? If not, disregard that step. If you do, here's a very brief description: http://packages.gentoo.org/ebuilds/?nvidia-kernel-1.0.4496-r4. You may also want nvidia-glx too. Read about it here, http://packages.gentoo.org/ebuilds/?nvidia-glx-1.0.4496-r1. They simply provide optimized performance of your video card under X-Windows.
I am running Maxi Gamer Phoenix card (featuring Voodoo Banshee, 2D/3D Graphics Card, 16MB memory). I am not quite sure whether it is a nVidia video card. How to check it?
Thanks in advance.
