Hi;

I have installed Linux 8.0 and managed to dual boot with WIN XP, after doing so i upgrade the kernal for Linux 8.0 to a higher version.

Before the upgrade i only have 2 options for me to choose at thr grub boot screen. After performing the upgrades of the LInux 8.0 kernal, i have 3 options to choose.

HOw do i get rid of the old Linux 8.0 entry on the grub boot screen.


Thanks

The extra entry is your new kernel. It doesn't hurt to keep the old kernel entry. Be sure to use the new one for a while to make sure it works before trying to remove the old one.

The entries are controlled by grub.conf, which should be in /boot/grub/ . Open it up and take a look at the listings. Find the one that lists your old kernel. It'll look something like...The easiest thing to do is remark out the four lines by adding a # at the front of the line.

But, that doesn't remove the files. There are three files in your /boot/ for each kernel... vmlinuz-2.4.whatever, which is the actual kernel; initrd-2.4.whatever which is the INITial RamDisk; and System.map-2.4.whatever. Delete the entry in grub.conf, and the corresponding three files in /boot/ , and it will be gone.

Thanks Ranger Nemo.

I have another prb.

After i reboot my system it's eth0 card could notbe loaded and i try using the system settings> Network to activate the eth0 card but it shows me an error msg "Cannot activate network device eth0"

Any advise.

Presumably your on network then? When going through the LFS book how did you set up the network card?

It may also be a case that the kernel does not have the correct driver loaded for the network card? What make is it?

Thanks CragStar

I have already managed to resolved the issues.....
