Make install copies the kernel image to /boot/vmlinuz-<version-number> for |
| 20 |
vanilla kernels, for gentoo-sources it was something like |
| 21 |
vmlinux-gentoo-<version-number> or so, so, each kernel is copied with a |
| 22 |
different name. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
If you use this same name convention in your grub.conf, then it is a good |
| 25 |
thing, since you can keep old kernels until you know that your new kernel |
| 26 |
actually works, instead of being continually readjusting the vmlinuz link, |
| 27 |
which I find to be a hassle. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
It is a matter of copying the lines for your old kernel a couple of lines |
| 30 |
below and then changing the version number, and you get a new menu entry with |
| 31 |
your new kernel. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
All is better for me if each kernel has its name in the grub.conf file, cause |
| 34 |
I know what I am doing in every momment without having to leave the editor |
| 35 |
and go to the command line to see where is vmlinuz pointing at. |
