[SOLVED - Doh!] New kernel doesn't show up in grub menu

I've decided to play around with a new kernel, so I followed the instructions in the wiki for building the linux-pf kernel (ie, used the AUR). Although it doesn't include this step, I also ran grub-mkconfig. I can see a new Linux kernel in my /boot/grub/grub.cfg file.

However, it doesn't show up in the Grub menu when I reboot. I don't see any other step in the wiki, for either linux kernels or grub. What am I missing?

Do you have a second Linux installation, with another grub installed?

Re: [SOLVED - Doh!] New kernel doesn't show up in grub menu

@op - If you see it in /boot/grub/grub.cfg and that is the file grub is reading, you will see it when grub goes live.  Do you have a separate /boot partition and did you have it mounted when you updated the config?  I'm guess you didn't and your config went on the root file system under /boot rather than to a mounted filesystem mount in /boot.

Well, that was embarrassing

It didn't reflect my grub.cfg changes because I'm using syslinux.

Doh!

Never mind.
