[Bug 753442] Compiling and installing a new kernel fails and does not add it to the grub2 menu

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=753442 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=753442#c3 --- Comment #3 from Larry Finger 2012-03-22 20:20:45 UTC --- There is a rather simple work-around. After the 'sudo make install' fails, run the command 'sudo /usr/sbin/grub2-mkconfig'. That creates a sub-menu entitled "Previous Linux versions". Your newly created kernel will be found there when you reboot. Note: The entries are not removed when you delete the vmlinuz or initrd files. So far, the only way I have found is to edit /etc/grub2.cfg and remove the menu entries. The YaST => System => Boot Loader screen only offers to install the boot loader. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
