hello,
i downloaded a kernel 2.4.24 and compile it but it is
not booting so i have to modify the line kernel and
include root=/dev/hda9.
why i required to do it and how by default kernel
works without that parameter?
my default installation is name set by me is PINIX.
Also i want to know how the entry Red Hat
Linux(2.4.24) is automatically added to grub?
Also my previous experience remembers me that i have
to manually add kernel entry to grub?
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 (hd0,7)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda9
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=2
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,7)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
