http://askubuntu.com – I needed a minimally-configured Real Time kernel, I compiled a new kernel with menuconfig. Firstly I added the rt patch to the new kernel directory using patch, and then ran make menuconfig. Then I added the bzImage find inside arch/x86/boot/bzImage and the System.map files to /boot. After that I ran update-grub. Here are the contents of my grub.cfg The problem is the the new kernel cannot be loaded when grub prompts. (HowTos)

Stories similar to grub cannot load my newly installed kernel

I have started reading the book Essential Linux Device Drivers. I am following the process for compiling and booting into a new kernel.

this is what i did i downloaded the latest stable kernel archive from kernel.org and extracted the archive into the download directory (i don't think that matters though) then i downloaded and installed the ncurses archive (needed for menuconfig) then i opened a terminal and navigated to the directory that was extracted from the archive and issues the floowing commands

After recompiling my kernel, I copied the corresponding files to /boot, and my /boot directory looks like:

Then, I inserted a new item in grub, and /boot/grub/menu.lst now looks like:

After searching a lot, I found that someone mentions that maybe ACPI settings matter. So, I set ACPI to off.

Running bzImage in QEMU 35 weeks 6 days ago

So I compiled a linux kernel by doing make menuconfig and make. I was trying to run the bzImage in qemu, by doing "qemu -kernel bzImage" but it didn't work out:

How can I fix it? How can I run the bzImage in qemu?

Thanks

I setup a new ubuntu quantal system and edited /etc/default/grub as follows:

# If you change this file, run update-grub afterwards to update # /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

I messed up a bit. Hoping some here can help me.

I tried to install the newest catalyst 12.8. Sadly, this broke my system. I was stuck in low graphics mode. I finally managed to restore the proprietary drivers, and get into ubuntu again. But now I am stuck on kernel 3.2.0.26. I had installed kernel 3.2.0-30, but the system no longer sees it.

Problem with kernel package. 38 weeks 3 hours ago

I am running Fedora 15 on a second machine.

I had trouble booting Linux and I found that while grub started off trying to boot vmlinuz-2.6.43, I had to backtrack to vmlinuz-2.6.42 in order to boot. rpm -qa | grep kernel shows both kernel packages installed and rpm -ql ... shows the newer kernel should be in /boot, but it isn't.

[ubuntu] GRUB issues.... 32 weeks 2 days ago

Hey, everyone. I currently have a dual-boot setup with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04

Whenever I start my computer after booting windows previously I'm presented with a different GRUB than usual. I recently downloaded and installed linux kernel 3.6.0 and made some changes to GRUB using GRUB customizer. So I have been doing some tweaking with those files.
