DESCRIPTION

14       installkernel  installs  a  new  kernel  image onto the system from the
15       Linux source tree. It is called by the Linux kernel makefiles when make
16       install is invoked there.
17
18       The  new  kernel  is installed into {directory}/vmlinuz-{version}. If a
19       symbolic link {directory}/vmlinuz already exists, it  is  refreshed  by
20       making  a link from {directory}/vmlinuz to the new kernel, and the pre‐
21       viously installed kernel is available as {directory}/vmlinuz.old.
