Whn i load grub i get the following message:
kernel /boot/bzImage root/dev/hdc3
Error 15: File Not Found

----------
My grub.conf
default 0
timeout 5
title=Gentoo linux
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hdc3

------------
Some of you may think that hdc isnt the first disk on my system, but it is.
And the bzImage file is located in /boot

What can i do to make this work?

Well like it or not this message means that /boot/bzImage is not found.

From the looks of it you are setting grub up to think that /boot is on /dev/hda not hdc .. Try changing the root ( ) section to 'root (hd2,0)'....

Im also assuming that the error message actually has root=/dev/hdc3 in it not just root/dev/hdc3

Maybe you have deleted the "boot" link in boot?

In boot:
Code:
# ls -al
total 1160
drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root         1024 Feb  5 01:31 .
drwxr-xr-x   17 root     root          384 Feb  5 01:31 ..
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            1 Feb  5 01:31 boot -> .
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1166087 Feb  5 01:45 bzImage
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         1024 Feb  6 01:15 grub
drwx------    2 root     root        12288 Feb  4 18:38 lost+found

If you don't see the link "boot -> ." you have to create it.

Code:
# cd /boot
# ln -s . boot
