One of the (many) great things about gentoo is that it doesn't force you into a pre-defined install pattern.

What you should do, is boot from the install disk like your starting from scratch - then just mount your disks (mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot swapon /dev/hda2 etc.) then enter the chroot enviroment (chroot /mnt/gentoo env-update source /etc/profile etc.)

then you can just correct what is wrong - ie by running genkernel

I did the boot from install disk and made the changes I thought needed, everything went pretty well until I: "make dep && make bzImage modules modules_install" <enter> There was a fair bit of activety then a report "make: no rule to make target bzImages". Stop regards John
