Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] kernel 2.6.30.3

[Newtor <gen...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm not overly familiar with the proper procedure for installing newer kernels and
modules, so perhaps this issue is simply user error. My method was to install
VL6Soho 1.21 complete. Login into recovery mode via grub. Using 'wget' I
downloaded both packages. Using 'installpkg' I installed both packages. Kernel
installed without any abnormal message, however modules gave this message:

mv: cannot stat 'etc/rc.d/rc.modules-2.6.30.3.new': No such file or directory

At this I'm at a stand still trying to figure out how to manipulate the grub2
bootloader to boot the newer kernel and yet still provide me an option for the
older kernel. I noticed that the symlinks were updated to the newer kernel,
however the actual grub menu still boots the older kernel. It seems grub2 has done
away with menu.lst so I'm searching to discover the new method of adding
additional boot options. If I can determine the proper method and successfully
boot the newer kernel I'll report back on my virtual testing.

Cheers, newt
