I typed in

genkernel all

That whent well, It then says to list my initrd and kernel and I typed in:

ls /boot/kernel* /boot/initrd*

And it says on my machine

ls: /boot/kernel*: No such file or directory
ls: /boot/initrd*: No such file or directory

I don't use the genkernel script.

You can't do that inside the script. It has to be done from the command line, the ls-command I mean.
If indeed it can be done from inside the script, is your /boot partition mounted?

You need to know the names of the kernel and initrd image.

Genkernel is a useful thing when you've no idea what a kernel is :-)

Yeah, and usefull when creating a configuration in your computer, but the final target is another computer with a completely different configuration. :-)

So basically there are "times" when I use genkernel.

The way to do genkernel is to have a kernel package already emerged:

Tell us wether you have or not a separated partition for /boot, please.

I like these people :-)

They ask something then they disappear :-)

Why ask if you don't really want to get an answer? :-D
