When I compile a new kernel, I usually just use grubby to modify
/etc/grub.conf -
KERNEL=2.4.26
grubby --add-kernel=/boot/bzImage-$KERNEL \
--initrd=/boot/initrd-$KERNEL.img --title="Linux $KERNEL" \
--copy-default --make-default
(I hope the lines don't get wrapped too bad, but I put \ in there just
to be clear that it's all supposed to be one line.)
HTH.

Howdy,
I just recompiled my kernel (2.4.22-2115.nptl) and have copied the new
bzImage to the /boot directory. But I haven't the first notion of what to do
with grub.conf. Do I make a new entry (or comment out the existing one? Do I
use the same initrd image as with the last kernel, with this new one? Do I
also use the same root argument value for the kernel command for my new
kernel? I am used to LILO but have never used GRUB before. I have looked in
the 'info grub' pages, and didn't see anything that could help me. Any help
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
