If you use this same name convention in your grub.conf, then it is a good= =20 thing, since you can keep old kernels until you know that your new kernel= =20 actually works, instead of being continually readjusting the vmlinuz link= ,=20 which I find to be a hassle. It is a matter of copying the lines for your old kernel a couple of lines= =20 below and then changing the version number, and you get a new menu entry = with=20 your new kernel. All is better for me if each kernel has its name in the grub.conf file, c= ause=20 I know what I am doing in every momment without having to leave the edito= r=20 and go to the command line to see where is vmlinuz pointing at.
