dear all!
i want to edit bootloader configuration for my kernel. i do n't
understand how to modify the grub.conf file. i 'm n't clear to modify
the " root=LABEL=/ " in grub.conf (i.e. it is /dev/hda1 or
/dev/hda2 or something else).( i 'm using Windows XP as other OS on
system.)
My Grub.conf file is :--
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,2)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda5
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora Core (2.6.5-1.358)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img
title Other
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
My /etc/fstab file is :--
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660
noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
df -a output is :--
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5 25395572 7120984 16984552 30% /
none 0 0 0 - /proc

none 254168 0 254168 0% /dev/shm
sunrpc 0 0 0 - /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs
I 'm trying to modify the lnux kernel parameters. so; my kernel is
ought to be crashed. is there any shortcut for compiling the linux
kernel. i found very cumbersome that i 've to set parameters every
time i do " make config".
Thanking You
Abhijit Kumar
