Hi all,
Decided to give Linux 2.6.31 a go to see if it fixes the annoying I/O slowness bug I've been having for a long time.
Compiled it, installed the modules and copied the kernel image to the correct place in what is effectively /boot
title Slamd 64 12.2 Linux 2.6.30-cfq root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/slamd64-2.6.30-cfq root=/dev/sda2
title Slamd 64 12.2 Linux 2.6.31-srki root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/slamd64-2.6.31srki root=/dev/sda2
The first entry works and I can boot it. The second entry does not work and I get a "Error 15: File not found"
I've verified the kernel is in the same dir and the filename is correct - so no typos. Googling for this message shows some ubuntu related stuff about having to reinstall grub - I can't imagine why i'd have to do this given the previous entry works. I can't see what I'm doing wrong with the grub config - everything seems to be ok.
Does grub have a size limit on the kernel image?
The grub screen shows:
Booting 'Slamd 64 12.2 Linux 2.6.31-srki' root (hd0,1) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /boot/slamd64-2.6.31srki root=/dev/sda2
Error 15: File not found
Press any key to continue....
Anyone kindly offer some help please?
Thanks Srdjan
