I am currently using ubuntu 14.04 with the kernel 3.13.0-37-generic, I want to try booting from another kernel 3.17.01 (latest stable release).
I have downloaded and built the 3.17.01 kernel from source. Based on what I have understood so far, I need to copy bzImage file to /boot folder and change the grub config file accordingly.
Is this the correct way to do so ? If yes, then can anyone tell me how to configure the grub so that I may be able to boot from both 3.13 and 3.17 kernel (2 options in grub menu)
If not , then what are the steps to do so ?
I am using grub 2 currently.
sudo update-grub
should take care of the rest./boot
folder regarding the currently running kernel. I don't think grub will be generating those files. Also, on some forums it was written that I need to manually generate initramfs. Not sure, how to do that though.dpkg -i
or double clicking.
