or even better: |
| 22 |
make all modules install install |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
which will cp bzImage to /boot/bmlinuz-yourversion, makes an symlink from |
| 25 |
vmlinuz to vmlinuz-yourversion and a vmlinuz.old symlink to your previous |
| 26 |
used kernel. |
| 27 |
So all you need to have in grub.conf is a vmlinuz and a vmlinuz.old entry to |
| 28 |
choose between your latest and the previous kernel. |
| 29 |
Hand copiing and editing grub.conf/menu.lst is just not needed. |
