"make install" automatically updates the symlinks in /boot/ For me, the kernel update process is: emerge -a1v sys-kernel/vanilla-sources cd /usr/src/linux // I usually issue make defconfig to start with a fresh config. But if you skip make defconfig, the following command will start with your old config from /boot/config make menuconfig make make install modules_install //The above command automatically copies the kernel image, System.map and .config to /boot and updates the /boot/vmlinuz, /boot/vmlinuz.old, /boot/config, /boot/config.old, /boot/System.map, /boot/System.map.old symlinks. It also copies the modules to /lib/modules //No need for genkernel, no need to edit grub.conf *reboot *delete obsolete modules in /lib/modules, and obsolete files in /boot *By the way, before i delete obsolete config file in /boot, i back it up in a oldconfigs.tar.lzma compressed archive.
