Test Case:
1. Prepare a deployed target, and make sure your boot area has enough disk
space.
2. Download the new kernel image rpm to the target
3. Before install/update, check boot area and menu
root@qemux86:~# ls /boot/
grub vmlinuz
root@qemux86:~# cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg
menuentry "Linux" {
set root=(hd0,1)
linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb2 rw console=tty0 quiet
}
4. Install/update bzImage
root@qemux86:~# rpm -i kernel-image-3.10.9-yocto-standard-3.10.9+git0+cd502a8814_7144bcc4b8-r0.qemux86.rpm
Caution! Update kernel may affect kernel-module!
update-alternatives: Linking //boot/bzImage to bzImage-3.10.9-yocto-standard
5. After install/update, check boot area and menu
root@qemux86:~# ls /boot/ -al
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 Sep 12 08:48 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Sep 12 07:08 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Sep 12 08:48 bzImage -> bzImage-3.10.9-yocto-standard
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6172096 Sep 12 07:39 bzImage-3.10.9-yocto-standard
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 Sep 12 08:48 grub
-rwxr-x--- 1 root root 6172096 Sep 12 08:45 vmlinuz
root@qemux86:~# cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg
menuentry "Update bzImage-3.10.9-yocto-standard-3.10.9+gitAUTOINC+cd502a8814_7144bcc4b8" {
set root=(hd0,1)
linux /bzImage-3.10.9-yocto-standard root=/dev/hdb2 rw console=tty0 quiet
}
menuentry "Linux" {
set root=(hd0,1)
linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb2 rw console=tty0 quiet
}
6. Reboot target, 'Update bzImage-3.10.9-yocto-standard-3.10.9+gitAUTOINC+cd502a8814_7144bcc4b8'
will be in the boot menu.
7. It supports GRUB 0.97 in which the grub.cfg doesn't exist and menu.lst
is used.
8. If you install the same rpm more than one time with '--force', there will
be multiple kernel images in boot area and menu.

While installing a rpm to update kernel on a deployed target, it will update
the boot area and the boot menu with the kernel as the priority but allow
you to fall back to the original kernel as well.
- In pre-install script, it backs up original kernel to avoid confliction with
new one.
- In post-install script, it updates the new kernel as the boot priority.

This change just assumes that all boot systems are alike. Just applying
this patch "as is" will probably break a lot of embedded systems that
have totally different ways of upgrading the kernel. Best scenario is
that they'll waste time and space running scripts that will have no effect.
It should be possible - and more important: default - to NOT include
these scripts, and use them only on targets they apply to.
kernel.bbclass is in my opinion not the correct location.
Otherwise, should I add my kernel postinstall script that writes the
kernel into an MTD block on an embedded target to this class as well?
And a NAND version? And SD?
Mike.

Yes, we should add a on-off to decide whether the method should be used
or not,
and set off by default.
But I could not find a better location to do this, almost all of targets
in oe-core may
need this, do you have any suggestions?

My intuition says, just create a "kernel-grub.bbclass". I don't see
anything wrong with that yet.
On the other hand, it's more of a thing I'd expect in BSP or machine
support layer.
