this is my first ArchLinux installation and I'm try to run linux-ck kernel on my ArchLinux (as a VirtualBox guest) that is using Gummiboot bootloader.
According to this guide, I have installed linux-ck-ivybridge virtualbox-ck-guest-modules-ivybridge
packages, then I have added elevator=bfq
kernel parameter to /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf
so it now looks like this:
# cat /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf
title Arch Linux
linux /vmlinuz-linux
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
options root=/dev/sda1 rw quiet elevator=bfq
Then I have run gummiboot update
.
However, after rebbot, uname -r
still gives me 3.12.8-1-ARCH
and dmesg | grep scheduler
tells me that "[ 0.520294] I/O scheduler bfq not found
".
According to this, it seems that the boot loader needs to be made aware of the new kernel, however instructions for grub only are given. I have no particular reason to keep using gummiboot instead of grub but I fear that trying to install grub now would mess my system up. So the question is, how can I make gummiboot aware (and load) the ck kernel? Alternatively, how can I safely replace gummiboot with grub? Thanks in advance!
