adding new kernel to grub

[korn4266]

I just compiled a kernel and now the only thing left is getting it added to grub so i can boot to it. How do I do this? Where is the image file for the new kernel stored? I have already check the kernel readme and it only has directions for lilo. I want to keep grub.

If you compiled it from source the regular way,
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.6.7 (replace 2.6.7 with the actual version #)

edit grub.conf to include a new paragraph, just like your original one, only changing the location of the kernel to reflect the new one.
Here's one of mine...

What about all the .nptl file shouldn't their be some for the new kernel? I can't find any for it.

You should be fine with je_fro's examples.....the options he has are all you need to boot different kernels. :)
