[parisc-linux] What keywords should I use to find the answer?

[Edward Alfert]

ok...was able to follow all the steps in creating the new kernel including
make oldconfig
make dep
make palo

now what? (this is where the Building the Kernel FAQ ends)

So from this point forward i'm guessing (trial and error)...

I rebooted and it still booted to the old kernel 2.4.9

i then manually moved /root/source/palo/lifimage to
/boot/vmlinux-2.4.16-pa19
then created link to it from vmlinux

I then rebooted and i get:
Opening /vmlinux
Opening /vmlinux-2.4.16-pa19
Couldn't grok your kernel executable format
ERROR: failed to load kernel

Now i know i shouldn't have manually moved the files over and there was a
correct way of doing this... but i looked in all docs i could find and can't
find the right way to move a new kernel into place from the new created
palo/lifimage

1) what is the right way?
2) how do i recover? do i interrup the boot process... interact with IPL and
pass some parameter to boot from the old kernel (that i left behind at
/boot/vmlinux-2.4.9)?

Thanks for all the previous help... i'm close but yet so far....
