Unless I'm > missing something, that's the one that will work with "make install". ? The `make install` calls `/scripts/install.sh`. `/scripts/install.sh` uses a variable called $INSTALLKERNEL to search a few directories. If it can't find what it's looking for it searches for an `install.sh` script in srctree/arch/$arch/. `kernel-install` is part of the systemd stack, and can be invoked as `installkernel`. It gets invoked as installkernel during `make install` through some wizardry I'm not super familiar with. I guess it's more of an install binary than an install script, but there's no `installkernel.sh` on many current distributions. Just programs that pretend to be `installkernel.sh` which might confuse a user looking for such a script. I suppose it would be more accurate to say something like: "It is also possible to do `make install` if you have lilo installed or if your distribution has an installer compatible with the kernel's makefile."
