It _is_ slow. Instead I'd just add a new grub menu entry to /boot/grub/grub.cfg and point it to /boot/MyzImage. After a 'make install; make modules_install' just link /boot/MyzImage to the installed kernel in /boot. And then generate a new initramfs using 'update-initramfs -c -k <ver>' -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe cpufreq" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
