Got bored, also the internet was out, so i decided to try out Gentoo Linux. I did fine, then rebooted only to realize i have my grub configured wrong. When I try to boot, it can't find the kernel, because I used a different kernel than the documentation shows :P I used the vanilla-sources kernel, and used genkernel to compile, if anyone could tell me what to change the kernel line to, it would really help me, Thanks.

look in your /boot directory for the kernel file and change your kernel in your grub config file to the same name.

Jump into single user mode, if you cannot boot. Then grab your grub.conf file and post on site. Lets see what you got.

you can use the live cd to chroot into the install (just like you did during the install) after mounting /boot and /. then just make the right changes.
