kernel upgrade to 2.6.9
hello
i am totally new to linux and i leraning it in my class. On the finall project i got to do the upgrade kernel from 2.6.5-something for everything higher. I found the higest kerenl right now is 2.6.9 also i foun information how to do it on the "digitalhermit.com/linux/Kernel-Build-HOWTO.html by Kwan Lowe" . I did everything what was writen there step by step and everything seems went ok. However when i choose from Grub my new kernel i got this message on the terminal " Booting Fedora Core (2.6.9) root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /boot/bzImage-2.6.9 ro root=LABLE=/1 rhgb quiet Error 15: File not found I want to add that i use Fedora Core 2 Thx for replay |
Just use Yum or Apt.
PS: Don't use Fedora.us, Livna.org and Fedora Extras for updating. Their repositories are not compatible with all the other ones. Start with DAG: http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/FAQ.php |
I don't use grub so i'm not sure on this, but with lilo, after you edit the config file you have to /sbin/lilo as root. Now, i'm not sure if you'll have to do this with grub or not.
Can you post your grub config file and your /boot? |
this is my grub :
# grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda6 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Fedora Core (2.6.5-1.358) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img title Fedora Core (2.6.9) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/bzImage ro root=LABLE=/1 rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9.img and this is my /boot: . grub System.map-2.6.5-1.358 .. initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img System.map-2.6.9 bzImage-2.6.9 initrd-2.6.9.img vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358 config-2.6.5-1.358 lost+found vmlinuz-2.6.9 .config-2.6.9 System.map thx again for everything and i will try this Yum and Apt |
Try this in your grub config...
title Fedora Core (2.6.9) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/bzImage-2.6.9 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9.img I'm not sure, but for one you misspelled Label, second you just had /boot/bzImage and not /boot/bzImage-2.6.9 so the boot loader isn't going to find it. |

thx:confused: |
I hate to do this by trial and error, but try this and i'll explain why..
title Fedora Core (2.6.9) root (hd0,0) kernel /bzImage-2.6.9 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.9.img The boot loader looks in the /boot directory for the kernel image, so when you specify /boot/bzImage it's looking for the dir boot inside of /boot. I could be wrong but that's my guess. |
