I was trying to enable the Frame buffer for this I did the following steps
1-Install the Linux source-2.6.12 in /usr/src
2-make menucofig
3-make
4-make module_install
5-make install
this created one image and I copied this image into /boot folder
6-I wrote the following line into my grub(menu.lst)
title frame buffer enable
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/hda/sda1 ro quiet splash
......
........
7-upgrdae the grub
Now If I upgrade the grub watever changes I made in the grabe does not come on the boot option and If I dont upgarde the grub the New added title comes into boot option If I select new option
