Install confusion

[Stefan Bruda]

Hi.

I assume you already did:

make xconfig dep vmlinux modules modules_install

Well, there is no such rule as install.  Instead, you should copy
vmlinux and System.map into /boot.  You may want to copy them under
names that append the version at the end, something like this:

cp vmlinux /boot/vmlinux-2.4.25
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.25

(replace 2.4.25 with whatever is the version of your kernel, look into
Makefile to find out).  Adjust /etc/yaboot.conf accordingly, run ybin,
and you should be in business on the next restart.  Just keep the old,
working kernel around (and a label for it in /etc/yaboot.conf) just in
case the new one does not work.
