Hi,

yes and no, gentoo unmounts the /boot partition after booting.
So, assuming your /boot partition ist /dev/hda1 you have to mount it first with:

# mount /dev/hda1 /boot

Without that your new kernel is copied in the /boot directory of your / partition, and that one is "overlayed" with the /boot partion during bootup.

good /boot

p.s.: It doesn't seem to me that this will help you with your pccard-issue anyway, but good luck.
