0 8 Configure The GRUB Boot Loader
tweets
Now we must configure our GRUB boot loader so
tweet
that our new kernels gets booted when we restart
the system. Instead of modifying /boot/grub/menu.lst
directly, we can run
yast
to do it.
Go to System -> Boot Loader:
On the next screen you will see your existing GRUB records. Go to Add to add a new one:

Select Clone Selected Section to clone one of the working GRUB records:
Enter a name for the new kernel, e.g. SUSE Linux 10.1 - 2.6.18.2, and go to Kernel -> Browse:

6. How To Compile A Kernel - The SuSE Way - Page 3 | HowtoForge - L... http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_suse_p3
You will see the contents of the /boot directory where your new kernel is located. Select your new kernel which
typically begins with vmlinuz (e.g. vmlinuz-2.6.18.2-default):
Next go to Initial RAM Disk -> Browse:

Again, you will see the contents of the /boot directory. Select the appropriate ramdisk for your new kernel
which typically begins with initrd (e.g. initrd-2.6.18.2-default):
Back on the main screen, select OK:

You will see a new GRUB record for your new kernel. Mark it and hit Up until it is the first in the list:
Then hit Set as Default to make the new kernel the default one:

That's it. You can check /boot/grub/menu.lst now, you should find a new stanza for your new kernel there:
vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
