Description Michael Gn. Gajda 2013-04-19 11:55:15 UTC 
The documentation (not only in the english version) for compiling and installing a kernel ( http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kernel-upgrade.xml ) recommends using the name /boot/bzImage-### for kernel images.

Grub2 does not detect these files in its default-config. Personally I use '/boot/kernel-gentoo-3.#.#' which does work.

I recommend changing the suggested default name in the documentation.

Although we don't have grub2 stable yet, I can follow the logic. Most tools (including the kernelsources-provided "make install") use names such as "kernel-<name>", "config-<name>" etc.

Fixed in CVS, should show up on the site in an hour or so.
