sir! perahaps i was n't able to express my requirements by the above mail(sorry for that). i want to edit boot loader configuration for loading my own kernel. for this i have to edit the following line :-- kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
like some "kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda5". but i don't
know what i should write in place of LABEL. i.e. /dev/hda2 , /dev/hda3
or /dev/hda5.
so; kindly read the following files and suggest
me what should i do.
My Grub.conf file is :--
# 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 (hd0,2) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda5 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=1 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Fedora Core (2.6.5-1.358) root (hd0,2) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img title Other rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1
OK, you should keep the existing kernel as an option so that when/of you have problems with your custom kernel then you have a known-working option you can use.
Supposing you call your custom kernel vmlinuz-custom, and that you make an initrd called initrd-custom.img (both in /boot), add the following lines to the end of your grub.conf:
title Fedora Core (My Custom Kernel) root (hd0,2) kernel /vmlinuz-custom ro root=/dev/hda5 initrd /initrd-custom.img
If you don't build an initrd, just omit the last line.
Next time you reboot, you should have a third item in your grub boot menu, which can be used to boot your custom kernel.
As, you want to know about what parameters i am going to change? i 'm going to change the "sched.c" parameters.
Ah, I thought you meant parameters passed to the kernel at boot time, which could just be added into the grub.conf file.
Paul.
