make install

I think the bit about copying the kernel directly to /boot seems wrong - the handbook has an entire H2 dedicated to installkernel and its vagaries, and copying the kernel alone wouldn't invoke i.e. dracut as needed. I think make install should always work even without installkernel. --Calvin (talk) 00:16, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for reporting, The copying is an overhang from when yaboot was the only option. I've asked csfore to change this to match the new grub option we have in the handbook and leave a note that some IBM users may need to manually copy.

How does this look?

Proposed changes - Please make edits here until a final revision is agreed upon.

When the kernel has finished compiling, copy the kernel image to /boot/. This is handled by the make install command:

root #make install
