Hi, I am using fedora 10. I downloaded linux kernel 2.6.32.2 and run the follwing commands to build and install it. 1) make defconfig 2) make 4)make modules 5)make all 6)make modules_install 7)make install After that the contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst are: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 # grub.conf generated by anaconda 2 # 3 # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file 4 # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that 5 # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. 6 # root (hd0,2) 7 # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 8 # initrd /initrd-version.img 9 #boot=/dev/sda 10 default=2 11 timeout=5 12 splashimage=(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz 13 hiddenmenu 14 title Fedora (2.6.32.2) 15 root (hd0,2) 16 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32.2 ro root=UUID=80c4c9bd-8110-4f79-8bdc-dd69e38bf299 17 initrd /initrd-2.6.32.2.img 18 title Fedora (2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686) 19 root (hd0,2) 20 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 ro root=UUID=80c4c9bd-8110-4f79-8bdc-dd69e38bf299 21 initrd /initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.img 22 title Windows Vista 23 rootnoverify (hd0,0) 24 chainloader +1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) When I rebooted the machine and selected "Fedora (2.6.32.2)" from grub's menu, why fedora(old fedora 10 which was there initially) is booting instead of linux kernel 2.6.32.2 ??? 2) what does "ro root=UUID=80c4c9bd-8110-4f79-8bdc-dd69e38bf299" means in /boot/grub/menu.lst ?
