Re: kernel.old not used any longer?

Where you attempting to install the kernel into the same directory as the
running kernel? That seems to be the condition to match. Previously if
DESTDIR was set to / then it wouldn't do a kernel.old properly because the
directory of the running kernel wouldn't match. ru_at_ fixed that. If DESTDIR
is set to something other than / I wouldn't expect kernel.old to be created.
