Well, not much of a hassle if he had just gotten the path right... |

I seem to recall getting bitten in the past by 'make install'. I think it |
| 11 |
overwrote my existing kernel, and insisted on running lilo (I use grub). I |
| 12 |
have just moved it manually since. |

I just had a look at 'make help': |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
install - Install kernel using |
| 17 |
(your) ~/bin/installkernel or |
| 18 |
(distribution) /sbin/installkernel or |
| 19 |
install to $(INSTALL_PATH) and run lilo |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Gentoo does have a /sbin/installkernel but it seems to be designed for Debian. |
| 22 |
Can you confirm then that this works fine on Gentoo and does _not_ try to run |
| 23 |
lilo? I can see myself it appends a version number so it should not overwrite |
| 24 |
an older kernel... maybe I will write my own ~/bin/installkernel, so it can |
| 25 |
update my grub.conf manually. |
