NAME
       installkernel - tool to script kernel installation

SYNOPSIS
       installkernel <kernel-version> <bootimage> <mapfile>

DESCRIPTION
       installkernel  installs a new kernel image onto the system from the Linux source tree. It is called by the Linux kernel makefiles when make
       install is invoked there.

       The new kernel is installed into {directory}/vmlinuz-{version}. If a symbolic link {directory}/vmlinuz already exists, it is  refreshed	by
       making a link from {directory}/vmlinuz to the new kernel, and the previously installed kernel is available as {directory}/vmlinuz.old.
