Rob,
Maybe you could take a look at genkernel. Although it's a bit inmature, it's supposed to do all the dirty stuff for you, and you only have to edit the grub configuration file with the parameters provided by genkernel.
About the kernel being corrupted, are you sure you are pointing grub to the right place? Maybe you have copied the wrong file? Don't worry about the size of the kernel, it depends on the things you compile into it, the more options you include, the bigger the kernel.

Jose,
I am using a manual compilation. It creates the kernel and System.map. I have set it up correctly with Grub just like the first compile that I did. When I boot, it says the file is corrupt. Unfortunately, I am not near my computer to see the exact message. The kernel is twice the size as the original kernel. I even tried to compile with the orignal setting to get a kernel that matched the original, but to no success.
Gracias, Rob

Rob,
Manual compilation or using genkernel? What about error messages? Have you double checked everything is fine in /boot?

I have a dell Inspiron 8500 notebook.
I have installed using gentoo-dev-sources using stage-1. Everything worked great I booted into it and discovered that I did not configure my network card or a file system that was required by 2.6. I tryed to do another make as before but when I try to boot into it, it would not. Is there something I missed with the kernel to compress it or something so that grub will boot using it. I can only boot using the original kernel that I created.
Thanks,
Rob
