[Meico]

I changed the settings of my kernel useing make menuconfig. what do I do to make gentoo use my new changed kernel. I originally used genkernel to complie my kernel. I just exited the make menuconfig if that helps.

make && make modules_install

Then follow the installation guide to copy new kernel to your boot fs (make install copies files, but you have to change contents of grub or lilo.conf). Be aware to leave an entry in grub (or lilo). conf pointing to old kernel in case something is wrong with new one.

It's not difficult, but you've to pay attention to details or you won't boot anything at all .
