installed linux-source-2.6.26 in /usr/src, modified some configurations, and used make-kpkg command to generate a kernel deb file.
On installing the kernel on my local machine, I found that the kernel was entered as *title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26 (single-user mode)*in /boot/grub/menu.lst I installed this kernel image on my live cd, and then installed it to my hdd. Inspite of me making modifications to the kernel, its still showing *title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26 (single-user mode)* in the grub bootup. Then I installed the same very linux image deb file in Ubuntu 8.10, and even there the kernel was listed as that of Ubuntu..!!! How do I change this title to that of my own? How to customize the kernel title in /boot/grub/menu.lst automatically without user interven? Its a fair thing that if i customize a kernel according to my need, I should be able to use a name for it too..!! Any idea of how to do this?? The uname of my live cd and machine is Linux indiaforce 2.6.26 #1 SMP Thu Oct 1 09:03:37 IST 2009 i686 GNU/Linux Now how to enable indiaforce ie hostname to appear in kernel name? Please help. -- Harshad Joshi
