I suggest placing this script in /sbin/installkernel, which allows you
to do 'make install' and have the right thing done. No makefile
changes needed.
#!/bin/sh
#
# Arguments:
# $1 - kernel version
# $2 - kernel image file
# $3 - kernel map file
# $4 - default install path (blank if root directory)
#
ROOT=/boot
# Default install - same as make zlilo
if [ -f $ROOT/vmlinuz ]; then
/bin/mv $ROOT/vmlinuz $ROOT/vmlinuz.old
fi
if [ -f $ROOT/System.map ]; then
mv $ROOT/System.map $ROOT/System.old
fi
cat $2 > $ROOT/vmlinuz
cp $3 $ROOT/System.map
if [ -x /sbin/lilo ]; then /sbin/lilo; else /etc/lilo/install; fi
