The problem for me right now, is that the kernel doesn't have a predictable name when you are rebuilding it automatically. So when you do a 'make world install' and the new kernel gets installed, then you might actually be on a newer kernel version and your grub entry is now invalid. > Also all the ln -s solutions fail if you build twice, you'd need at least > ln -fs.

It certainly would be preferable to do it there, but unfortunately install.sh doesn't retain any knowledge of what kernel just got built. All it does is copy the directory contents across. --=20 Thanks, Paul Larson plars@linuxtestproject.org http://www.linuxtestproject.org --=-axU/m/NpmfkScKZrbsJT Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBB8Wj5bkpggQiFDqcRAkYDAJ0VyuHn2QBPRtJZcFlwtS5DFsHzBwCgi2sg 5OU9BgUbzL3xEvF61icBXVU= =HefR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-axU/m/NpmfkScKZrbsJT-- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
