For the official Arch kernel packages this makes absolutely no sense ... [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ ls -hl /boot/vmlinuz-linux -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.6M Oct 31 18:52 /boot/vmlinuz-linux ... since an upgrade of linux changes nothing at all, in regards to the grub.cfg entry or any other bootloaders menu entry. The /boot and root partitions are the same, the kernel file name is kept, too. Regards, Ralf
