Ok, but let's take this back into the arena of FHS. I hope that FHS
isn't only for naive users. [If FHS intends that distributions cannot
support users with multiple kernels I'm going to be very disappointed.]
According to the current FHS, as soon as you have a system which can
boot two distinct kernels, the system is not FHS compliant. This is a
bad thing, in my opinion.
But only one kernel can be the one which boots by default --- for
example, if you just type "return" at the LILO prompt.
It is also not naive-user-friendly to require the user to type a kernel
name each time the computer boots!
So which ever kernel boots by default when you power-on the machine and
don't type anything special to select a specific kernel should be the
one which /usr/src/linux points at. Is that really unreasonable?
