6 In my expirence, grub does read symlinks, at least if everything is on
7 the boot partition. My installkernel script copies the bzImage file over
8 to boot as kernel-2.6.xx-... and then removes and creates a symlink for
9 the new kernel to /boot/kernel. In my grub.conf I just have a line like:
10
11 kernel /kernel root=/dev/...
12
13 This way I don't have to mess around with my grub.conf when I switch
14 upgrade or switch kernel versions.
