I successfully compiled a new kernel, and was using it.  No problem.

 

Then I decided to move back to the old, GENERIC kernel.  I did this by moving /boot/kernel to /boot/kernel.new, and then renaming /boot/kernel.old to /boot/kernel

 

Is this correct, or will there be problems when I reboot now ?  If it is incorrect, what else needs to be done ?

 

thanks.
