I've just compiled a new kernel. I then mounted the boot partition,

right direction Thanks

Did you check whether you've really overwritten the old grub.conf?
Is the file in the right directory (/boot/grub/)? Is there a symlink
menu.lst on grub.conf?
Do you really boot from that partition?
the file /boot/grub/grub.conf has the new config.
menu.lst is a symlink to grub.conf
/boot is the mount point for /dev/sda1 the boot partition
the only thing that I changed is to replace the oldest kernel with the newest.
The order shouldn't make any difference, I want the default to be my current
working kernel. I want to test the new kernel before I make it the default.
Point is that this setup was working previously and has done so since I
started using gentoo. I have checked to make sure that /dev/sda1 was really
mounted at /boot when I copied everything across, and it was. So I don't know
what has gone wrong.

Did you run grub-install?
