setting a newly compiled kernel to load

zaidgs · 2004-11-15T14:25:04

i have redhat 9, and need to set the kernel to read (read-only) from ntfs partitions. i used "make xconfig" to make the required adjustmanets, followed by "make dep", "make clean", "make bzImage", and have the newly compiled kernel in the expected folder. whats next ?! i tried to dumbly replace the old kernel with the new file, but after restart the system did not load. i believe the missing step is the boot loader setup. in an old linux book i have, they say that the next step should be "make bzlilo", but i use "grub" not "lilo" what gives ?!

I'm not familure with the LABEL syntax, where do you define what each label is? Are you sure that the labels are being properly defined for your new kernel?

i am a newbie, i am just guessing stuff, all i did to modify the grub.conf was to copy the entry for the old redhat installation and set file locations correctly.
