The file you want is stored as: /boot/grub/grub.conf on
Gentoo systems.
You need to edit that file in order to make any changes and
grub will
read them correctly at the next reboot (you don't need to
run any
commands as you do with lilo).

forget /etc/menu.lst
forget /boot/menu.lst
/boot/grub/menu.lst is deprecated - and a symlink to
/boot/grub/grub.conf
are you sure that grub is not reading grub.conf in
/boot/grub?
Is the boot -> . symlink in /boot? Are you sure that your
settings are
correct? Correct harddrive? Correct partition?

ABOVE YOUR POST.
YES, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. AND,
ACCORDING TO
GRUB'S MAN PAGE, IS ALSO (PARTLY) WRONG:
" --CONFIG-FILE=FILE
SPECIFY STAGE2 CONFIG_FILE
[DEFAULT=/BOOT/GRUB/MENU.LST]"
(OR IS THE MAN/INFO/--HELP OUT OF DATE?)
AS I WROTE IN MY FIRST ANSWER TO THIS THREAD (WHICH SOMEHOW
DIDN'T MAKE IT
TO THE LIST, YET), THE PROBLEM IS (IMHO) WITH /BOOT NOT
BEEING MOUNTED AT
ALL.
BYE...

Yes, if you followed the Gentoo install instructions closely
/boot is
not mounted during normal operation, so if you install a new
kernel it
will write /boot/grub/grub.conf (or /boot/grub/menu.lst) to
your root
partition, not your boot partition. Grub is instructed to
use (hd0,0)
or whatever your particular boot partition is, so it's not
going to
see the /boot directory on your root partition - mount /boot
and
re-install the new kernel version and it'll probably boot
fine. Then
you can clean up the version of /boot that's on your root
partition
(verify that /boot is not mounted first!).

I had a similar issue. My boot partition contained
a /boot/grub/menu.lst with the option:
title Gentoo-2.6.20.r8 on /dev/sdb2 - hd1,1
root (hd1,1)
kernel /boot/bzImage-2.6.20-gentoo-r8
root=/dev/sdb6
but changes to /boot/bzImage-2.6.20-gentoo-r8 seem to have
no effect.
The cause was the value for root ( (hd1,1) ) which pointed
to a
different partition than the partition mounted as / and
which
held /boot.
I had to mount hd1,1 which was /dev/sdb2 as /mnt/sdb2 and
sure enough
in /mnt/sdb2/boot I found the image that was run at boot
time.
I really need to tidy up my partitions!
