Howdy, |

Setting up a new system and want to do the simple grub setup where I |
| 4 |
have grub menu of: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
* Current Gentoo Kernel (/boot/vmlinuz) |
| 7 |
* Previous Gentoo Kernel (/boot/vmlinuz.old) |
| 8 |
* Gentoo 2.6.28-r1 (/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-gentoo-r1) |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Then when I rebuild the kernel I can use the following command: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
$ make && make modules_install && make install |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The make install should handle moving /boot/vmlinuz to /boot/vmlinuz.old |
| 15 |
and copying the current image to /boot/vmlinuz. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I found what I think is the instructions I used before: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/Kernel/Installing |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
which basically say to emerge debianutils |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The problem I'm seeing is that "make install" is including the version |
| 24 |
number in the vmlinuz filenames: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
# ls -1 /boot |
| 27 |
System.map-2.6.28-gentoo-r1 |
| 28 |
System.map-2.6.28-gentoo-r1.old |
| 29 |
boot |
| 30 |
config-2.6.28-gentoo-r1 |
| 31 |
config-2.6.28-gentoo-r1.old |
| 32 |
grub |
| 33 |
vmlinuz-2.6.28-gentoo-r1 |
| 34 |
vmlinuz-2.6.28-gentoo-r1.old |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Any ideas or better instructions for getting the versionless vmlinuz files? |
| 38 |
|

TIA, |
