INSTALLKERNEL(8) System Manager's Manual INSTALLKERNEL(8)
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.
