Do you have syntax examples for --id, or is that just a generic descriptor? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
So would the option for local kernel versioning built into the |
| 28 |
kernel be recognized by grub2 to distinguishing between differnent |
| 29 |
(locale) versions of the same kernel version? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
menuconfig--> General Setup--> Local version-append to kernel release |
| 32 |
??? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
OR: |
| 35 |
So how do I know which number matches which kernel, since using the |
| 36 |
name does not match them up as desired to select to boot? |

ok. I'll give this whirl and see what I come up with that works |
| 42 |
for my kernel experiments.... |
