Question missing menul.lst file

Question missing menul.lst file

[Victor Rodriguez]

I have already clone the mainline and follw the steps sugested in
kernelnewbies in order compile the kenel I was working in ubuntu 10.04
 i followed all the instruction in this way

$make menuconfig
$make
#make modules_install
#make install

but then they put really explicit

If you're using Ubuntu, you will need to edit menu.lst instead of grub.conf

I look for in ubuntu documentation for this file and ubuntu establish
in the LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes that the file most be opened by this way

Open /boot/grub/menu.lst with a text editor (e.g., sudo gedit
/boot/grub/menu.lst).

And then save the file, and run sudo update-grub from the commandline.

I have run in file system

$sudo find -name menu.lst and nothing appear

any way i skip the part of open the menu.lst file and just did the
sudo update-grub and for me it works the image of the new kernel is
available after reboot the machine i cehck the kernel version with

$ uname -a and this appear

Linux victor-desktop 2.6.35-rc6+ #1 SMP Tue Jul 27 16:40:26 CDT 2010
i686 GNU/Linux

I don't know if this is a bug in the new kernel release but at least
in the available documentation it is

Any commentary will be appreciated

Thanks

No, it is the distribution's work to make the kernel installed
correctly in grub.conf or menu.lst. Distribution has to provide
a correct INSTALLKERNEL.

Thanks.
