Just copy your new bzImage into /boot but give it an informative name. For example if your default kernel is vmlinuz-2.x.y, then name your new kernel vmlinuz-2.w.z (cp bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.w.z)hello, i have 2 kernels compiled on my pc one is default and another is i downloaded and compiled. i want to know how can i boot from default kernel to new one compiled kernel? i know how to do it in grub.conf just i am finding any direct boot option is avail on console after compiling new kernel. regards, linux_lover
Then you can create a new entry in grub.conf like the following:
title linux (2.w.z)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.w.z root=/dev/hdc3 (or where ever your root is)Don't delete your default kernel entry until you know the new kernel boots okay ;)
