How do I remove all those kernel selections when I boot up?
I am running Mandrake 9.2 and I have installed too many kernels on my system.
Before Mandrake starts up, I am asked to selcet the kernel I would like to boot with. There are so many selections available and I am wondering if there was a way to remove most of those selections that I don't need. I would like to remove all of my kernel selections exept for the 2.24-10p3 kernel. I have made a mistake by trying to install the kernel source for a kernel I was running, but instead I installed all the available kernel selections and it is really annoying because I have to scrool down to pick the kernel I want to use. Or is there a way to make Mandrake automatically boot with a specified kernel? Do I have to remove the kernel package from the system, or edit some file, ect? Thanks. |
You need to edit your bootloader configuration - for lilo, this is /etc/lilo.conf
read man lilo.conf to get an idea of what you're doing. then do: su <enter password> cd /etc cp lilo.conf lilo.conf.old #Backs up your old config so you don't nuke it. nano lilo.conf (or pico, or vi, or whatever text editor you like) Remove the sections you don't want. --Rounan |
edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file ...
i am pretty sure thats what mdk9.2 uses ... but depending on your bootloader and if the above is false, then edit your lilo.conf or grub.conf file in /etc .. |
