Boot Sequence

[Nobody's Hero]

I have two kernels available on my RH9 system.
See''''

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda1
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-8)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-8.img
title XFS Linux 2.4.19
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/linux219xfs ro root=/dev/sda1 hda=ide-scsi


When I reboot, I want the linux219xfs kernel to load by itself. Right now I have to watch the reboot and select the correct kernel. How can I do this. Do I need to re-arange the grub.conf file?

Looking at your configuration file you need to change the "default=0" to "default=1".The "default" line says which kernel to boot and it starts counting at 0.

default=0

Can be changed to pick any of the kernel's available in your grub.conf file.

Just change the number to reflect the kernel you want to boot off of.
