Kernel update problem

Hi,

I've tried to update my old kernel 2.6.12 to the new 2.6.15 (emerge --world wanted me to)

so I emerged the new gentoo-sources and tried a:

make oldconfig //old config file was still in usr/src/linux/.config

then: make && make modules_install

after compiling I copied the new kernel to /boot and edited grub.conf to boot the new kernel

so far was everything ok (I think).

but when I reboot my gentoo, using the new kernel the boot console always shows:

This is ... (Linux I686 2.6.12-gentoo-r10)

how could this happen? Was something wrong with my update procedure? Don't Gentoo like my "new" kernel?

btw: after booting the "new" kernel my keyboard layout was changed and the x-server was set to default (only the graphic interface with the three windows) before that I used gnome

I hope someone can help me

Bastian

Go to /usr/src/
remove the link linux -> linux2.6.12-r10
create a link linux -> linux-2.6.15

with this command: ln -s linux-2.6.15 linux

Then make a new config.
