kernel 2.6.8.1 image - Grub

[nyblueguy]

Once I compile my new kernel how do I get the image into grub so it loads on the next reboot? Thanks

does file:/usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1/arch/i386/boot/bzImage need to go somewhere?

Also - How do I get "initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-2-386"

this same file and line on the menu.lst file in grub?

Thanks,

After you compile a new kernel (with make-kpkg) I assume, you will need to install it (if using make-kpkg, this is just using dpkg on the new .deb generated). After that, run as root:

mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8.1 2.6.8.1

where 2.6.8.1 can be replaced with whatever the version string of your new kernel is (replace it in both places in that command).

Then do

update-grub

as root and if all went well, that initrd line will appear in your menu.lst file automatically.
