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.

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.
