Howdy,
Setting up a new system and want to do the simple grub setup where I
have grub menu of:
* Current Gentoo Kernel (/boot/vmlinuz)
* Previous Gentoo Kernel (/boot/vmlinuz.old)
* Gentoo 2.6.28-r1 (/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-gentoo-r1)
Then when I rebuild the kernel I can use the following command:
$ make && make modules_install && make install
The make install should handle moving /boot/vmlinuz to /boot/vmlinuz.old
and copying the current image to /boot/vmlinuz.
I found what I think is the instructions I used before:
http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/Kernel/Installing
which basically say to emerge debianutils
The problem I'm seeing is that "make install" is including the version
number in the vmlinuz filenames:
# ls -1 /boot
System.map-2.6.28-gentoo-r1
System.map-2.6.28-gentoo-r1.old
boot
config-2.6.28-gentoo-r1
config-2.6.28-gentoo-r1.old
grub
vmlinuz-2.6.28-gentoo-r1
vmlinuz-2.6.28-gentoo-r1.old
Any ideas or better instructions for getting the versionless vmlinuz files?
TIA,
Roy
