Problem in installing new kernel

Recommended Posts

am a new user to Red Hat Linux Enterprise Edition 4.1

I am trying to install a new kernel 2.6.15.6 on my Linux.

 

I have compiled the kernel and copied bzImage to /boot partition.

Also I have modified the grub.conf file

it is listed as

 

# grub.conf generated by anaconda

#

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file

# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that

# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.

# root (hd0,2)

# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda6

# initrd /initrd-version.img

#boot=/dev/sda

default=2

timeout=5

splashimage=(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

hiddenmenu

title Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.6.15.6

root (hd0,2)

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15.6.img ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet

initrd /initrd-2.6.15.6.img
