Could you have inadvertently made more of a change to grub.conf than |

that? Grub is notoriously fragile when it comes to its config file? |

Why did you edit it in the first place? As you used make install,you will |

have symlinks from vmlinuz and vmlinuz.old to the new and previous |
| 16 |
kernels. Use these in GRUB and there's no need to edit anything. |
