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