As a longtime LILO user, I'm a bit perplexed faced with the large amount of docs concerning grub. When I compiled a new kernel and wanted LILO to know about it, I'd edit /etc/lilo.conf and run lilo again to update the boot sector.
Since grub knows about filesystems, do I need to do a similar update step? Or do I simply edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and reboot? I thought I'd ask before possibly rendering my system unbootable and resorting to a rescue disk. Thanks, Peter
