i named the kernel nvidia because i thought of compiling 2 kernels, one with nvidia propriatary drivers and its name is nvidia the other is with nouveau driver without the suffix nvidia in its name and i used nvidia as a main kernel, i thought of following the guide of multiple kernels for multiple drivers for nvidia but i just compiled the 2 kernels only

abdus,
That's good, you auto mount boot, so you have not been correctly installing the kernel to the wrong place.
| Code: |
...
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3604176 Mar 21 14:03 initramfs-5.4.97-gentoo.img
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3601600 Mar 20 21:41 initramfs-5.4.97-gentoo.img.old
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3595400 Mar 6 14:41 initramfs-5.4.97-gentoonvidia.img
...
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12219200 Mar 21 14:02 vmlinuz-5.4.97-gentoo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11506496 Mar 6 14:40 vmlinuz-5.4.97-gentoonvidia
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12182336 Mar 20 21:40 vmlinuz-5.4.97-gentoo.old |
The kernel you are running is called gentoonvidia.
Its name and date tie in nicely with | Code: | # uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 5.4.97-gentoonvidia #1 SMP Sat Mar 6 14:01:08 WIB 2021 |
You also have a kernel/initrd set from MAr 20 and Mar 21. Good. That narrows it down a lot. That's your newer kernels correctly installed to the correct place but grub is not loading either by default. There are several possible reasons.
You did not update the grub.cfg, so grub knows nothing of any vmlinuz-5.4.97-gentoo or vmlinuz-5.4.97-gentoo.old kernels.
You did update the grub.cfg but vmlinuz-5.4.97-gentoonvidia is still the default anh the other kernels are hidden in the Advanced Menu, so you need to choose vmlinuz-5.4.97-gentoo from there at boot time.

Every time you create a new kernel with different name (usually when you compile a new kernel version).
