i tired installing a new kernel to my ubuntu 10.04 system. I have got only ubuntu installed on this system.
I compiled it and even updated the grub.
following these steps shown below.
1. make defconfig (selecting a default configuration)
2. make
3. make modules_install
4. make install
5. update-grub
Is this the correct process ?
but after booting up the new kernel, its showing errors. I dont remember them correctly.
right after this i thought not having initrd.img created might be the problem. I created the initrd,img.2.6.36.2
using
update-initramfs -k 2.6.29.3 -c
This created the problem, after booting its not even opening grub and directly entering into initramfs prompt. What is the problem ?
how to boot the system from the initramfs prompt. I am stuck here.
Help would really be appreciated.
With kind regards,
Chaitanya.
