Hi,

I have a server on a remote location.

I'm always scared to death for "Kernel Panics" when executing my
freshly compiled kernel ! When this happens I must hurry to the remote
location

I can imagine a scenario in which this can be solved quickly:

"If I could configure Grub in such a way that it starts my new Kernel
and before really starting it, reconfiguring itself to start another
(old and proven) kernel at the next boot-time ! When my machine
doesn't come up after 3 minutes, it is probably in a kernel panic.
Then I can power-cycle the machine remotely."

Can anyone tell me how I can do this or provide another solution to
avoid a long downtime from a "Panic" of a freshly compiled kernel ?

Kind regards,

Gorik
