Hey guys,
till now I was just a silent reader of some topics, but now I could need
your help.
I recently did a 'emerge -avuDN --with-bdeps/=y --complete=graph world'
(hope the term with --with-bdeps is correct, writing from memory). I saw
that I got new gentoo-sources.
I was runnig with 4.0.5, the latest is of course 4.1.15-r1. So I decided
to upgrade my kernel. I started with eselect kernel set 4.1.15-r1 (the
number for it). Then 'cd /usr/src/linux/ && make menuconfig'. I sorted
out a few filesystems I didn't need, but thats all.
After I saved the .config file, I did 'make && make modules_install &&
make install' like it is written in the handbook.
Last but not least I wanted to create a new GRUB entry with
'grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg'. I thought I did all steps but
after a reboot, I ran into a kernel panic (Not syncing rootfs, IIRC).
Following a tutorial to be able to boot again, I had a look at my grub.cfg.
All those grub.cfg's I saw on the wiki had a short and relativeley easy
to understand syntax. But my grub.cfg is full of things I probably won't
need.
I thought it could have been my fault, because i removed some fs while
building the kernel, so i tried it again, but this time with genkernel.
But the same thing happened again.
I now wrote a grub.cfg by my self with all the information I needed.
In this wiki article is an example of a grub.cfg file, which I used as a
reference.

After rebooting again, I noticed, that my grub entries did not change.
Is there anything I did wrong or should try??
Also, why is there such a complicated 'new' grub layout? Haven't done
much with until now.
Thanks for your precious time :)
Greetings
