Good Q, lemme look at makeit.. Apparently not. My script keeps a 2nd copy of everything so all I have to do to revert if the previous version worked is rm the $VER and mv the $VER.old back to $VER. =========================makeit================== #!/bin/sh ## this script assumes you have downloaded, unpacked kernel- whatever.version ## First, edit this to set the version string to match the Makefile setting # yeah, I know, I should pass it as $1.

Edit grub.conf, reboot and chose your kernel at the grub prompt" ===================EOF================ I can replace the bZimage copy with a make install, but that would appear to need an order re-arrangement. What can be excised, or moved up and where should the make install line go? I don't want to lose the .old copies, they have been handy in the past. Although it does complicate the update-grub since they should up in the grub menu too. Since we have much larger /boot partitions than were allowed when I first carved the great great grandparent of this script a decade ago, maybe it is time the .old gingerbread did leave. There is now lots of room in /boot for attempts that fail. That means I probably could: 1. ccache make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y -j3 bzImage && \ 2. ccache make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y -j3 modules && \ 3. make install (new) 4. make modules_install && \ (or is this even needed now?) 5. mkinitramfs -o/boot/initrd-$VER.img $VER && \ 6 and do the .config saving 7 update-grub If that is the now correct order, I can do that easy enough. Sometimes you have to head this old electron cowboy off at the pass. Thanks Randy. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
