Hi folks. I'm trying to package up a Linus kernel to be used during an autoyast install as the primary kernel for the OS. I have a kernel-source*.rpm built, and I have a kernel-*.rpm built, and I can rpm -ivh them OK. The kernel-*.rpm was easy, but the kernel-source*.rpm was kind of hard - at least by the way I did it. For the kernel-source*.rpm, I started with an openSUSE kernel-source*.rpm, hacked out anything unnecessary-looking, and put in my desired kernel. After much tweaking, it seems to be working - but is there an easier way? Anyway, here's the heart of my question, why I'm posting: I'm not sure what's supposed to update /boot/grub/menu.lst. I know it's happened once for my RPM's, because I can look back in my tty logs and see that it was updated when I cat'd the menu.lst once, but when I rpm -ivh my new RPM's now, menu.lst isn't getting updated. What is supposed to update menu.lst, and what makes it decide when to make a kernel the new default kernel? Also, what is supposed to update the symlinks under /boot? Are these questions better posed on the opensuse-kernel mailing list? Thanks! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
