KC9: How do I install multiple kernel versions alongside one another without causing problems?
As root do the following:
Find your boot device and mount it
| Code: |
bash# grep boot /etc/fstab
# substitute the device that shows up from the grep in the ?? below
bash# mount /dev/hd?? /boot
|
Go into your grub directory, and edit menu.lst
| Code: |
bash# cd /boot/grub
bash# nano -w menu.lst
|
Duplicate a title, root, kernel block, then change
title= to have some relevant info about kernel you are adding, and
kernel= to the actual kernel file
An example of mine:
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3 acpi=no-idle hdb=ide-scsi
title=Gentoo Linux - Fine
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage-fine-020909 root=/dev/hda3
title=Gentoo Linux - Vanilla
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage-vanilla root=/dev/hda3
|
Make sure your root is what you have in your menu.lst,
and that you have a timeout long enough to pick if you want to.
