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. -- Thanks, Paul Larson plars@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtestproject.org Attachment:
