Only if you don't snip (which you should, even when top-posting).

Yes, your boot partition is missing the kernel image. I'm not sure where
genkernel puts it, but by all reasoning you should find it
at /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage. Make sure that boot is mounted and
copy the kernel there by issuing:
cp /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /mnt/gentoo/boot/kernel-2.4.24
Then modify your grub.conf to the following:
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.4.24
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.4.24 root=/dev/hdb1 vga=794
Note the changed hd in the kernel line (your kernel is in the boot partition,
not the root one). There was also a typo in the splashimage line.
That should do it.
