I have accouple questions about installing a configered kernal.
I've read accouple set of instructions on compiling and installing your own kernel that you modified. In these instructions it tells me to rename my old bzImage to something like bzImage.old... My problem here is...I don't have an old bzImage file in /boot ??? Is that a normal thing in Gentoo?
Also, do I have to rename or copy/rename my initrd file thats in /boot ?
For my final question about the kernal, this has to do with Grub
does this look like the proper grub.conf for what I'm doing?
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,2)/root/splash.xmp
title Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/hda3 vga=792
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r8
title New Kernel
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r8-1 root=/dev/hda3 vga=792
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r8

And while I'm writing...How do I get the spash screen to show up? No matter where I put it, it hasn't been working, not to mention that my screen always look garbled when "in" Grub. That prolly has to do with my vga setting, but I dunno what to set it to hehe.
Much thanks in advance for any help.
