Very bad, but my command was inaccurate according to this email. Please try once more: depmod -a and then do ls /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r3. slocate wouldn't have worked unless you did another updatedb. ls will always work One more command you should post back is just ls -la /lib/modules I think that you missed a step when you built your kernel 1) make menuconfig to set up the kernel and create .config 2) make to build the kernel 3) make modules_install to install the modules. This creates the directory /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r3 for this kernel. I think you did not do this step or the directory would be there. 4) mount boot;cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/XXX; vi grub.conf/etc. There is one other possibilitiy. Please do ls -al /usr/src If you linux link is set incorrectly I don't know what happens in this case. This problem should be very easy to figure out and fix.
