hello, all:

I am writing a kernel(Just a very little one). I didn't want to write
the bootloader by myself, I want to

use the GRUB. but I don't know how to do.

who have done the things like this or could give me some articles
about that.

many thanks!

What distribution are you using? RHEL, CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu? They have slightly different tools built in to load up the kernel for you into grub.conf, usually using the "grubby" tool behind the scenes. Do be sure to give your kernel a unique name, and run "man grubby", and you should have some tools ready.

sorry, maybe I didn't say clearly. the kernel is written by myself, My
OS is debian. I test the kernel in a virtual PC. And I just want to
know how to load the kernel by grub.

OK. I can't swear, but if your kernel has a different name than the installed kernels, you should be able to do "make install" with a recent kernel. If that doesn't run grubby for you, look at the man page on grubby and the source for the Debian kernels and see exactly what options they use to install grubby, rather than trying to figure out what particular settings Debian normally uses.

Do you mean you are actually trying to write a kernel from scratch, not
just modifying or configuring Linux source code?
