or even better: make all modules install install which will cp bzImage to /boot/bmlinuz-yourversion, makes an symlink from vmlinuz to vmlinuz-yourversion and a vmlinuz.old symlink to your previous used kernel. So all you need to have in grub.conf is a vmlinuz and a vmlinuz.old entry to choose between your latest and the previous kernel. Hand copiing and editing grub.conf/menu.lst is just not needed. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
