NAME
       installkernel - tool to script kernel installation

SYNOPSIS
       installkernel <kernel-version> <bootimage> <mapfile>

DESCRIPTION
       installkernel  installs  a  new  kernel  image onto the system from the
       Linux source tree. It is called by the Linux kernel makefiles when make
       install is invoked there.
       The  new  kernel  is installed into {directory}/vmlinuz-{version}. If a
       symbolic link {directory}/vmlinuz already exists, it  is  refreshed  by
       making  a link from {directory}/vmlinuz to the new kernel, and the pre-
       viously installed kernel is available as {directory}/vmlinuz.old.
