The document describes how to configure the GRUB boot loader on SuSE Linux to boot a newly compiled kernel. It involves using YaST to add a new GRUB entry and selecting the new kernel and initrd files from the /boot directory. The new GRUB entry is then set as the default so that the system will boot the new kernel on restart.
