[gentoo-user] kernel install question
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

Thank you, twice...
