I doubt that it grabs the kernel running from the CD, 'cause when I run 'genkernel --menuconfig all' the kernel config that is brought up does *not* have any AMD stuff in it. I removed that from the kernel because I don't have an AMD system. In this process, I followed the relevant steps in the Handbook, but I *didn't* emerge any software. For instance, I didn't emerge genkernel or gentoo-sources because they are already on the hard drive. I can try re-emerging these to see if it will help. I will point out the /usr/src/linux symlink points to the right sources. > >> The ran 'genkernel --menuconfig all' > > Does this also install the kernel onto the /boot partition?

No, I use gentoo-sources and I have the latest stable version. I did an emerge --sync and the an emerge --pretend --update --deep world in the chroot'd environment and the list of files returned did not include an updated gentoo-sources ebuild Regards, Colleen -- Registered Linux User #411143 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
