-I have a question in mind that suppose i have booted from kernel bzImage.1.1 and then compile my new kernel, copied it to /boot with name bzImage.2.1, is there any way that i load my new kernel bzImage.2.1 into memory without reboot the machine and setting
grub>kernel /boot/bzImage.2.1 root=/dev/hda5
-i hope you guys got what i am saying! |
