Bah, tapped "Send" too quickly. After I do make install, I usually
rename vmlinuz to vmlinuz-$(date +"%Y%m%d_%H%M%S"), and I have to add
a menu entry for the latest kernel (not edit, so make install
apparently didn't add the latest kernel into the grub menu).
Rgds,
Mine is like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4547936 Aug 22 03:53 /boot/bzImage-3.0.3-1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4548640 Sep 1 07:19 /boot/bzImage-3.0.4-1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5162752 Oct 12 21:49 /boot/bzImage-3.0.4-2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5167840 Oct 13 00:05 /boot/bzImage-3.0.6-1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5167776 Oct 19 02:14 /boot/bzImage-3.0.7-1
The last number is how many times it took to get a stable one.
Sometimes it is one, sometimes two. I would also like to see how make
install does it nowadays. Maybe worth another try.
Oh, I name the config files the same as the kernel too. Am I OCD? o_O
