Ok, when i try to boot yoper using grub, it sats error 15: file not found, being my kernel. I just need to know where the kernel file is so i can change it in my grub.conf file. Thanks.

I know with gentoo at least you have to copy over your kernel files to /boot

so for example after I change anything in the kernel I do this.

cd /usr/src/linux
cp arch/i386/boot/bzimage /boot//kernel-2.6.10-gentoo-r6
cp System.map /boot/System.map

Something similar should be for yoper I think. And also note that kernel-2.6.10-gentoo-r6 is just what I named that file.

my grub conf looks like this

Code:

default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=&#40;hd0,0&#41;/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title=Gentoo linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r6

root &#40;hd0,0&#41;
kernel /kernel-2.6.10-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda3
