[SOLVED] kernel installation error

[Argonsax]

Ok..I'm trying to install 2004.3 from Stage1 from a LiveCD, and I havn't had any problems until now. I'm trying to manually configure a 2.4.26 gentoo-source kernel because many of the programs I run are unstables on 2.6, and I like the idea of building EVERY part of my OS from the ground up, including the kernel..

# emerge gentoo-source

That code works just fine, it extracts the kernel sources and completes without errors, and

# ls -l /usr/src/linux

gives me

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 01 April 01 01:07 /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.4.26-gentoo......

exactly like the manual said it should be, I even tried

# rm /usr/src/linux
# cd /usr/src
# ln -s linux-2.4.26-gentoo-r9 linux

to symlink it to the kernel, but when i give it

#cd /usr/src/linux
bash: cd: /usr/src/linux No such file or directory.

I'm at a complete loss, and would GREATLY appreciate any help at all, although you might have to spell out what I'd have to do, I've only been using Linux for about 5 months, and that has all been on Mandrake.

P.S. I'd really like to manually configure my kernel, not just so it'll run faster, but so I can also make fun of my friends for using some pre-compiled Windoz crap o_o;;

# ls -la /usr/src
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 1 04:55 .
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Apr 1 02:16 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 31 20:49 .keep
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Apr 1 02:57 linux -> linux-2.4.26-gentoo-r9
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Apr 1 04:55 linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r4

><...yea I see the problem now I think. You have any clue how I would go about fixing this? And thanks for the prompt reply and help.
