Fix whatever the problem is so it will boot Gentoo.

I am not quite sure what you are going through. But if you cannot see a gentoo option with grub, odds are you didn't make one. Use the livecd and chroot back into your install. do a mkdir /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/hd* /mnt/gentoo (whatever hd and partition you used)
then, chroot /bin/bash
then while in your enviroment, mount /dev/hd* /boot (meaning whateve hd and partition you set as boot and go to the grub folder and check the grub.conf file. Make sure everything is setup correctly. Remeber how grub works. If your partiton for boot is hda2 then for grub it is hda1. Except on the line where you specify your kernel and parameters. Those will be normal. I hope this helped a little. Sorry if it is hard to understand.

I am trying to boot
but this is what i get

code:

root (hd0,0)
filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3

Error 15:file not found

Sounds like grub isn't set-up correctly...........post your partition table and i might be able to help :)

ok but I do not how i can do it
as I remeber was

hda1 boot ext2 98 Mb
hda2 swap swap 500mb
hda3 ext3 28000mb

[panther]

hda1 boot primary Linux ext2 98
hda2 primary Linux swap 500
hda3 primary linux ext3

when you have a separated partiiton for boot then in the grubconf file yoy have to remove "/boot"
make grub.conf like this:
root (hd0,0)
filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage root=/dev/hda3
