confguring grub to load new kernel

confguring grub to load new kernel

[sudhir]

Hi,

I just compiled kernel 2.6.10 and now wondering how to make the grub to
load the newkernel.

The grub.conf file is configured as:

#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,5)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-8)
        root (hd0,5)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/
        initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-8.img
title DOS
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1
                                                                            
    
How should I change the configuration?

Hi,

Put this entry in your grub.conf file

title Red Hat Linux  (2.6.10)
        root (hd0,5)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
        initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.10.img

And *DONT* remove this one:

So if you screwed up your 2.6.10 (did you remember to upgrade to
module-init-tools, and udev if you need it, and any other userspace
upgrades you need?) you can boot back to 2.4 easily and fix what you broke
or failed to upgrade....

Upgrade your modutils to the one from Fedora Core 2.  It supports the
2.6 modules as well as 2.4 so you are covered in either case.  FC3 now
uses module-init-tools which only works with 2.6.  You should be able to
just run a 'make install' which will use /sbin/installkernel to setup
the proper files in /boot.

The Fedora kernel RPMS use this kind of statement to add the entries to
grub:

[ -x /sbin/new-kernel-pkg ] && /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --
mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.6.10-1.741_FC3


Should work for you as well with no issues.
