Public bug reported:
I installed Ubuntu 9.10 released version from the ubuntu.com, and this is fresh
installation with the default setting (English)
>From the kernel 2.6.31-14-generic, I compiled vanilla kernel, which is from
>kernel.org. (2.6.31.5)
According to the document w/ GRUB 2 in 9.10, the kernel compilation has been
chanced. I followed new steps, but new kernel loading failed.
I post my steps that I used to do in 9.04 or earlier version.
1. cd <kernel source directory>
2. make defconfig
3. make xconfig
4. make -j4
5. make modules_install
6. make install
7. mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31.5 2.6.31.5
After this, I see the new kernel image 2.6.31.5.
8. update-grub
This is new change for 9.10, and make sure that /boot/grub/grub.cfg has
been updated with the correct information.
