Being a long-time LILO user and completely new to Grub, and not having built as many "new style" kernels as old, I have a couple of questions about integration.
I seem to have a working Grub setup. I have /boot/grub/menu.lst and when I reboot the box I get a menu list and can select a kernel to build. These kernels are /vmlinuz, /vmlinuz.old, /boot/vmlinuz, etc. I have my kernel source under /usr/src, and have successfully configured and made it. ( make ) I have compiled this one _without_ loadable modules, so when I tried "make modules" it told me so. When I did "make install" it told me that it was looking for ELILO and not finding it, but had found Grub. It then told me to set up my menu.lst so that it referred to "/boot/arch/i386/.../bzImage-2.6.10". I have no such file in no such path. I copied the bzImage from the kernel tree to /boot and modified menu.lst accordingly. When I reboot to that kernel -- kernel panic! In the "olden days" I used to do "make bzlilo" and it would create a "vmlinuz" file from bzImage and put it in /. Is this the sort of thing that I still need to do, even though I am no longer running LILO, or is there something else that I am missing? Thank you, Brian
