> I was wondering if anyone could help me boot the kernel to > another kernel besides /kernel, ie, /kernel.bak or /kernel.generic? At the Boot: prompt (when you're rebooting) type in the filename. Be quick or it'll default to /kernel. You can also specify options, like /kernel -c (to configure devices) or /kernel -s (to boot single-user). I think some binaries expect /kernel to be the running kernel, and if you reboot you'll go back to /kernel, so anything else should only be used on a temporary basis. ===================================================================== | Steve Reid - SysAdmin & Pres, EDM Web (http://www.edmweb.com/) | | Email: steve@edmweb.com Home Page: http://www.edmweb.com/steve/ | | PGP (2048/9F317269) Fingerprint: 11C89D1CD67287E68C09EC52443F8830 | | -- Disclaimer: JMHO, YMMV, TANSTAAFL, IANAL. -- | ===================================================================:)
