Booting The New Kernel

• Once everything is set, reboot your machine.
• At the boot loader's prompt/menu, chose the new kernel.
• Watch the boot messages - are they similar to what you are familiar with? Are there any errors or failures?
• If boot fails - reboot again with the previous (working) kernel.
• If boot succeeds, check that everything works (including networking, sound card, modem...).
