genkernel mounts /boot as part of its operation - an ls with /boot
mounted and then unmounted will tell if thats a problem (as will uname

gentoo uses modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 for 2.4 kernels, and a 2.6
one for that series. use modules-update instead of depmod
If you keep up to date with 1.4, it is most likely *more* up to date
than the 2004.0.
In effect gentoo is an install once and reconfigure and update on the
