That is exactly what we do with the bootloader spec [1] (BLS) and gummiboot. install-kernel supports this scheme along with the old one. If a bootloader is used, which supports the BLS, then multiple linux installations can happily share /boot. [1] <http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/BootLoaderSpec/> And it even gets better with combined kernel+initrd+cmdline uefi executables [2], which enables secure boot signing of even the initrd and the cmdline. [2] <https://harald.hoyer.xyz/2015/02/25/single-uefi-executable-for-kernelinitrdcmdline/> So, what is installed to /boot should not already be decided in the rpm, but in install-kernel. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
