Here is the procedure
for modifying the grub.conf file:
1. Copy the new image from the directory in which it was created (such as /usr/src/
kernels/linux-2.6.20-1/arch/i386/boot) to the /boot directory. Name the file
something that reflects its contents, such as bz-2.6.20-1. For example:
# cp /usr/src/linux-2.6.20-1/arch/i386/boot/bzImage/boot/bz-2.6.20-1
2. Add several lines to the /boot/grub/grub.conf file so that the image can be started at
boot time if it is selected. For example:
title Fedora (My own IPV6 build)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /bz-2.6.20-1 ro root=/dev/sda7
initrd /initrd-2.6.20-1.img
3. Reboot your computer.
4. When the GRUB boot screen appears, move your cursor to the title representing the new
kernel and press Enter.
The advantage to this approach, as opposed to copying the new boot image over the old one, is
that if the kernel fails to boot, you can always go back and restart the old kernel. When you feel
confident that the new kernel is working properly, you can use it to replace the old kernel or perhaps
just make the new kernel the default boot definition.
Booting Your Computer with LILO
LILO stands for LInux LOader. Like other boot loaders, LILO is a program that can stand outside
the operating systems installed on the computer so you can choose which system to boot.
