Hi,
I have a need to install 2.6.18 kernel.
After I configure, make, make modules, make install (all that is good). The last thing I do is 'make install'. This also modifies grub.conf and adds an entry for my new kernel. However it leaves the old kernel as still the default. Is there a way to have it automatically set my new kernel as the default in grub.conf so when I reboot the new kernel is active.
Edit grub.conf
Set default=x where x is the menu order position of 2.6.18. The order starts from 0.
eg: default=0 title CentOS (2.6.18) kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinuz-2.6.18 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 initrd (hd0,1)/initrd-2.6.18.img title CentOS (2.6.9-42.0.3.plus.c4) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.0.3.plus.c4 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 initrd /initrd-2.6.9-42.0.3.plus.c4.img title CentOS (2.6.9-42.0.3.EL) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 initrd /initrd-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL.img title CentOS-4 x86_64 (2.6.9-42.EL) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.EL ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 initrd /initrd-2.6.9-42.EL.im
