What command to start kernel 3.0 in /boot/grub/menu.lst? [solved]

Currently I have:

# (0) Arch Linux
title  Arch Linux
root   (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/b37afb64-426a-4f68-81eb-a2b3eaa1df73 ro
initrd /kernel26.img

http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/ … ux.install
"compat symlinks for the initramfs images" should take care of that. Keep it as it is.

Is this a script that I need to install or run?

Sorry for my newbieism.


Basically I followed these instructions (Script Method):
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … _New_Users


It says to configure /boot/grub/menu.lst to run the new kernel.

Why not use the new kernel from the testing repo?

http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/ … nux.preset
I'm not sure what

ALL_kver="/boot/vmlinuz-linux"

does, the presets looked a bit different for kernel26 http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/ … l26.preset

Edit: Ah, ALL_kver was being set in /etc/mkinitcpio.d/kernel26.kver

[karol@black ~]$ cat /etc/mkinitcpio.d/kernel26.kver
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
ALL_kver='2.6.39-ARCH'

I'll try to boot without that line. I noticed that too.


As for installing the kernel from [testing], I get this:

[root@myhost user]# pacman -Syu

Should I 'Pacman Rdd kernel26-headers', or is that a bad idea?



* EDIT *

Compiling just finished:

          *Please Configure /boot/grub/menu.lst accordingly and you are done. Then REBOOT & TEST!*

It's probably better just to use the compiled image now that I know it's successful.

Testing repo is for people who know how to fix things when they break, so you might be not qualified.

Re: What command to start kernel 3.0 in /boot/grub/menu.lst? [solved]

you should remove  audit or rebuild that without having kernel26-headers versioned

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Mission aborted. I can see that I'm not yet there in terms on knowledge so I'm going to just leave this as is.

Thank you both for the help.

you will have the same problem when the kernel is moved in core.

:: audit: requires kernel26-headers>=2.6.30

Got it to work! I deleted audit and deleted the kernel I compiled and the /lib/modules/linux-3* directory... Had I just added [testing] this would have went alot easier, but whats the fun in that! tongue
