RE: kernel panic after kernel upgrade

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Take a look at /boot/grub/menu.lst   It should look like the following:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda2
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-27.8.0)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-27.8.0 ro root=LABEL=/
        initrd /initrd-2.4.18-27.8.0.img

Then make sure "initrd-2.4.18-27.8.0.img" and "vmlinuz-2.4.18-27.8.0"
exist in /boot


Hope this helps....Dave T.
