Addednum to Jesus' thread. Make install does this: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
1. If there are files/links named 'vmlinuz', 'System.map' or 'config', they |
| 12 |
are renamed with .old extension |
| 13 |
2. New version of these files is installed with -<version> appendix (that's |
| 14 |
what Jesus mentioned) |
| 15 |
3. The new files are symlinked to short names mentioned in #1 |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
So afterwards vmlinuz and friends are symlinks pointing to current kernel and |
| 18 |
vmlinuz.old and friends are symlinks pointing to previous kernel. In GRUB I |
| 19 |
have profile for 'vmlinuz' named "Current kernel" and for 'vmlinuz.old' |
| 20 |
named "Previous kernel". |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Pre-previous kernel is still available by full name "vmlinuz-<version>". |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Ah, yes - documentation. In fact - there is one. Use "make help" in kernel |
| 25 |
directory for all options make accepts. At the end, in 'make install' docs it |
| 26 |
says it uses installkernel to do the thing. Then you have 'man |
| 27 |
installkernel' - exactly what you need. |
