I'm trying to install a linux-Kernel version 4.9.228 in my ubuntu 20.04. The kernel compiled successfully, without any errors. I also executed the command :

sudo make modules_install install

When I rebooted my system, To check whether it made correct entry ; I checked the files under /boot/ directory:

  • System.map-4.9.228
  • vmlinuz-4.9.228
  • initrd.img-4.9.228
  • config-4.9.228

I don't know why but when I ran uname -r. It hasn't updated my version. It still says 5.4.0-37-generic.

Please guide me if I am missing something.

If you want to use another installed kernel, you need to choose it in the GRUB boot menu:

  1. During boot, hold down either ESC (for EFI systems) or Shift (for BIOS systems).

  2. Select "Advanced options for Ubuntu"

  3. Select the kernel you wish to use.
