Hi Dale, |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
You can use your old "init thingy" if you don't need any modules |
| 25 |
inside it. The other stuff normally doesn't change. |
| 26 |
Since most setups use modules, you could experience troubles... |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
The other way would be - as you already proposed - to create an "init |
| 29 |
thingy" per kernel, eg initramfs-3.2.0-r1. |
| 30 |
If you use grub2 the grub2-mkconfig script searches for these |
| 31 |
(matching the name for your kernel image) and normally it works out of |
| 32 |
the box. |
| 33 |
FOr grub legacy (and lilo, i assume) you would need to make matching |
| 34 |
entries manually. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
With kind regards, |
| 37 |
|
