[addressed] make install / recompile

When I rebooted my laptop after installing, grub gives me an Error 15, which the sticky forum says means the kernel isnt present. My grub.conf references vmlinuz, but when I boot from recoverycd and mount /dev/hda3, there is no such file in the / or /boot folders.

I was searching through a couple of other posts, and found one that says that <make install> is supposed to create these symlinks. I did a one line make && make modules && make modules_install && make install, I thought, but it is possible that I forgot the last. <shrug>

My question is if boot recoverycd and mount /dev/hda3, and then rerun <make && make modules && make modules_install && make install>, will it use the gentoo-sources that I have emerged, and all my flags. or will it use the defaults on the CD?

Thanks in advance!

You just need to reboot with the cd and then you mount your partitions again and do a chroot as you did in your initial install. Cd to the correct directory...

Well, thank you for the excellent advice. However, by following it I seem to have uncovered the problem. Gentoo isn't getting past the make command, crashing after about 15 seconds with the following error.

net/built-in.o: In function 'ieee80211_michael_mic_failure':
net/ieee80211/ieee80211_crypt_tkip.c:511: undefined reference to "wireless_send_event'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

I will run make menuconfig to see if I can find and deselect the component so I can get a bootable install. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this error? Even better, is it fixable?

Thanks again!

edit: removing the TKIP option under networking--> 802.11 seemed to bypass the error
