    Howdy,

       I just recompiled my kernel (2.4.22-2115.nptl) and have copied the new
    bzImage to the /boot directory. But I haven't the first notion of what to do
    with grub.conf. Do I make a new entry (or comment out the existing one? Do I
    use the same initrd image as with the last kernel, with this new one? Do I
    also use the same root argument value for the kernel command for my new
    kernel? I am used to LILO but have never used GRUB before. I have looked in
    the 'info grub' pages, and didn't see anything that could help me. Any help
    would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

    Michael
