Hi i have hust compiled a 2.4.25 kernel using the following url
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...read&forumid=1
The problem i have is that the grub says file not found!

I have followed the tutorial as the tutorial says....except the steps fpr the final links
ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-x.q /boot/vmlinuz e.t.c
Because i think that if i apply them to my system they will destroy the kernel that i am using right now...


My grub conf is




boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Router
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=/dev/hdc1
initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.img
title Router 2.4.25 (Here is the problem)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.25 ro root=/dev/hdc1
initrd /initrd-2.4.25

Here's a piece of my grub/menu.lst:

title 241916
kernel (hd1,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-16mdk root=/dev/hdb1 devfs=nomount acpi=off vga=ask
initrd (hd1,0)/boot/initrd-2.4.19-16mdk.img

title 266
kernel (hd1,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.6 devfs=nomount acpi=off vga=ask root=/dev/hdb1
initrd (hd1,0)/boot/initrd-2.6.6.img

working-linux
kernel (hd1,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-0.13mdk devfs=nomount acpi=off vga=ask root=/dev/hdb1
initrd (hd1,0)/boot/initrd-2.4.21-0.13mdk.img

You need to create other stanzas for each kernel you wanna boot. This is my understanding anyway, and this grub list works for me.

I use 241916 to try and get my KYRO based card to work. Apparently this is the only kernel powervr support at the moment. The 266 is the new kernel, which I have at last got to boot up OK, and working linux is my 2.4.21-0.13mdk original kernel with internet access through a self compiled Conexant driver for a PCI Conexant modem. Thankyou Patrick Mackinlay - Life Saver.

All I gotta do now, is bring the three bits of functionality in three kernels together in one kernel if its possible lol Anyone reading this who can help, please feel free.

After you've done the compile, make modules and make modules install, simply make install to set up your links automatically. As long as you have a specific stanza for the kernels you wish to boot to, you should have no problems.

Hope this helps
