From: Victor Rodriguez on 27 Jul 2010 20:00 I have already clone the mainline and follw the steps sugested in kernelnewbies in order compile the kenel I was working in ubuntu 10.04 i followed all the instruction in this way $make menuconfig $make #make modules_install #make install but then they put really explicit If you're using Ubuntu, you will need to edit menu.lst instead of grub.conf I look for in ubuntu documentation for this file and ubuntu establish in the LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes that the file most be opened by this way Open /boot/grub/menu.lst with a text editor (e.g., sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst). And then save the file, and run sudo update-grub from the commandline. I have run in file system $sudo find -name menu.lst and nothing appear any way i skip the part of open the menu.lst file and just did the sudo update-grub and for me it works the image of the new kernel is available after reboot the machine i cehck the kernel version with $ uname -a and this appear Linux victor-desktop 2.6.35-rc6+ #1 SMP Tue Jul 27 16:40:26 CDT 2010 i686 GNU/Linux I don't know if this is a bug in the new kernel release but at least in the available documentation it is Any commentary will be appreciated Thanks Victor Rodriguez -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
