The kernel default.
Linux properly. If this happens, boot the system with the boot diskette created earlier and try configuring the boot loader again.
If GRUB is used as the boot loader, confirm that the file /boot/grub/grub.conf contains a title section with the same version as the kernel package just installed (if the kernel-smp or kernel-bigmem package was installed as well, a section will exist for it as well):
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda2
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=3
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-2.47.1)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-2.47.1 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-2.47.1.img
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-2.30)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-2.30 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-2.30.img |
If a separate /boot partition was created, the paths to the kernel and initrd image are relative to the /boot partition.
Notice that the default is not set to the new kernel. To configure GRUB to boot the new kernel by default, change the value of the defaultdefault to 1.
Begin testing the new kernel by rebooting the computer and watching the messages to ensure that the hardware is detected properly.
If LILO is used as the boot loader, confirm that the file /etc/lilo.conf contains an image section with the same version as the kernel package just installed (if the kernel-smp or kernel-bigmem package was installed, a section will exist for it as well):
prompt
timeout=50
default=2.4.20-2.30
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
linear
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-2.47.1
label=2.4.20-2.47.1
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20-2.47.1.img
read-only
append="root=LABEL=/"
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-2.30
label=2.4.20-2.30
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20-2.30.img
read-only
append="root=LABEL=/" |
Notice that the default is not set to the new kernel. To configure LILO to boot the new kernel by default, set the default variable to the value of label in the image section for the new kernel. Run the /sbin/lilo command as root to enable the changes. After running it, the output will be similar to the following:
Added 2.4.20-2.47.1 * Added linux |
The * after 2.4.20-2.47.1 means the kernel in that section is the default kernel that LILO will boot.
Begin testing the new kernel by rebooting the computer and watching the messages to ensure the hardware is detected properly.
