Which is, obviously, false. There is only one such directory for each kernel version. While you can have more than one kernel image of the same version in boot, you can only have one set of modules. > And I am sure, there are a few more things like that. Each kernel installs: vmlinuz.<version>, System.map.<version> and possibly config.<version> in /boot (or wherever you request it to) and modules in /lib/modules/<version>. Beware, that directory contains a symlink to your build-tree. If files for given <version> already exist, they are renamed to *.old, except for module directory, which is simply replaced. There are also the links /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/System.map. They are usualy used to select default kernel, so they must not remain stale. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan 'Bulb' Hudec <bulb@ucw.cz>
