[mail] Re: Kernel issues

[M.]

Oh boy, this is gonna be a tough one. :-) I had a look on my box as the root
and in my /boot directory there are no further subdirectories, or any files
named grub or grub.conf for that matter. I did install grub to the MBR, that
I remember now. I don't know where my grub.conf file has gone; the file
finder simply doesn't find it. I did a bit of searching on the web regarding
this issue and one site mentioned an "update-grub" command which is to
recreate the grub config file. It's a real shame though Fedora doesn't have
that particular file. :-)
 
So the bottom line here is, I have a system that boots, it has kernel 681 on
it (somewhere!), but I don't have the config file for grub. Perhaps there is
a grub command that recreates this the config file? (Do I first need to
create a folder called "grub" in "/boot"?). Since I did some reading on grub
reconfigs, etc. I would also very much like to create a bootable diskette
first -- any help on this would also be greatly appreciated. :-)
 
And, oh BTW, this box is Linux only.
 
 
Thanks again,
Maurice.

Hi
Just have a look in:
/boot/grub/grub.conf
and the top kerna showing should boot.

You will need to be root to change this.

Here is mine:
*******************************************************************
boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.681_FC3)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.681_FC3.img
title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.667)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img

************************************************************************


I assume you are using grub.
cheers
Bob
