8 Configure The GRUB Boot Loader

Now we must configure our GRUB boot loader so

that our new kernels gets booted when we restart

the system. Instead of modifying /boot/grub/menu.lst

directly, we can run

yast

to do it.

Go to System -> Boot Loader:

On the next screen you will see your existing GRUB records. Go to Add to add a new one:


4 de 12 02/12/2009 11:46

Select Clone Selected Section to clone one of the working GRUB records:

Enter a name for the new kernel, e.g. SUSE Linux 10.1 - 2.6.18.2, and go to Kernel -> Browse:


5 de 12 02/12/2009 11:46

You will see the contents of the /boot directory where your new kernel is located. Select your new kernel which

typically begins with vmlinuz (e.g. vmlinuz-2.6.18.2-default):

Next go to Initial RAM Disk -> Browse:


6 de 12 02/12/2009 11:46

Again, you will see the contents of the /boot directory. Select the appropriate ramdisk for your new kernel

which typically begins with initrd (e.g. initrd-2.6.18.2-default):

Back on the main screen, select OK:


7 de 12 02/12/2009 11:46

You will see a new GRUB record for your new kernel. Mark it and hit Up until it is the first in the list:

Then hit Set as Default to make the new kernel the default one:


8 de 12 02/12/2009 11:46

Hit Finish:

Select Quit to leave YaST:


9 de 12 02/12/2009 11:46

That's it. You can check /boot/grub/menu.lst now, you should find a new stanza for your new kernel there:

vi /boot/grub/menu.lst

# Modified by YaST2. Last modification on Wed Nov 15 14:37:56 CET 2006

color white/blue black/light-gray

default 0

timeout 8

title SUSE Linux 10.1 - 2.6.18.2

root (hd0,0)

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18.2-default root=/dev/sda3 vga=0x314 resume=

initrd /initrd-2.6.18.2-default

###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux###

title SUSE Linux 10.1

root (hd0,0)

(Instead of using YaST to configure GRUB, you could as well have added

title SUSE Linux 10.1 - 2.6.18.2

root (hd0,0)

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18.2-default root=/dev/sda3 vga=0x314 resume=

initrd /initrd-2.6.18.2-default

as the first kernel stanza to /boot/grub/menu.lst using a command line editor like vi, joe, nano, etc. To find

out about the correct kernel and ramdisk, you could have run

2

ls -l /boot

)

Now reboot the system:

shutdown -r now

If everything goes well, it should come up with the new kernel. You can check if it's really using your new

kernel by running

uname -r

This should display something like

2.6.18.2-default

If the system doesn't start, restart it, and when you come to the GRUB boot loader menu, select your old

kernel and start the system:

You can now try again to compile a working kernel. Don't forget to remove the stanza of the not-working kernel

from /boot/grub/menu.lst.
