I'm currently in the process of upgrading my kernel (5.1). Afaik, every time one installs a new kernel with "make installkernel" the old /boot/kernel is moved to /boot/kernel.old thus overwriting the old /boot/kernel.old.
In order to keep a working kernel: Is it possible to *keep* an old kernel by copying, say /boot/kernel.old to e.g. /boot/mykernel and then via the boot-menu starting this kernel by
unload boot mykernel
??
If yes, can I simply copy (e.g. via tar | tar xpf..) the old kernel directory to a new name or is there anything else I should consider?
TIA for your help -ewald
