Did you use genkernel or did you do the kernel by yourself? Also check that kernel part in grub. There is usually a -r# from the kernel. The # depends on the release of the kernel you are using.
# Which listing to boot as default. 0 is the first, 1 the second etc.
default 0
# How many seconds to wait before the default listing is booted.
timeout 30
# Nice, fat splash-image to spice things up
# Comment out if you don't have a graphics card installed
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.4.26-r6
# Partition where the kernel image (or operating system) is located
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.4.26-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda3
The -r# i was talking about is where it shows
Code:
kernel /kernel-2.4.26-gentoo-r6
The one you have posted is missing that last -r#, kernel /kernel-2.6.5-gentoo,which is what I think is causing the problems.
My kernel doesn't have the -r# in its name. its name is "kernel-2.6.7-gentoo" and yes, Even though I posted 2.6.5, it is 2.6.7 as the filename and in the grub.conf. Adding more characters to it would make it a wrong filename and wouldn't help in my mind
===============
EDIT:
GOT IT SOLVED
Thanks for all the help everyone
