I have multiple (would you believe 2?) kernels in /boot. [x8940][waltdnes][~] ll /boot/vm* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7046848 Jun 12 23:46 /boot/vmlinuz-experimental -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6986624 Jun 12 16:55 /boot/vmlinuz-production
The grub kernel listing at bootup is - production kernel - production kernel recovery mode - experimental kernel - experimental kernel recovery mode The default is the first entry, i.e. "GRUB_DEFAULT=0" in /etc/default/grub. I prefer going with "experimental". If I screw up the config to the point where it can't boot, then I'll manually override to "production". The simple way of getting the third entry as default is "GRUB_DEFAULT=2" (remember to count from zero). This works for now. But what happens if/when I add more kernels for whatever reason? Let me rephrase the question more generally... given a kernel "/boot/vmlinuz-fubar" how and where do I specify it by name as the default boot kernel? -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
