Terry,

If you boot with LILO simply compile the kernel and place it under a unique name in the /boot dir. Make a copy of the standard Linux boot section in /etc/lilo.conf changing the name of the bootfile to the name you gave the new kernel, reinstall LILO and reboot.

I'm not that experienced with GRUB, but it should have the same possibillity.

Greets, Erland.

What is the best setup or precautions to take if you want to try different kernels?. For example I have suse 10.2 working well with 2.6.18 now I build 2.6.20 with the same config of 2.6.18. Is the new kernel going to change anything in the system than when I load back the 2.6.18 I will have problems?

In summary how do you setup you system to test kernels? Anything special in Grub?

TIA
