Does this not also add the system.map file & a couple of others to / boot ? I think I tried this &/or genkernel & when I looked at /boot I found they'd littered the place with clutter. I hope you won't be offended, but the amount of junk files this added made me want to barf. I have avoided any such "complications" since, considering I don't consider copying a file & editing grub.conf to be anything of a complication myself. To guard against unbootable kernels I have a bzImage.old which is set as fallback. To guard against human error when editing grub.conf the bzImage.old is the first (0th?) entry in the list, and finally - lest things go really pyriform - I have a KVM-IP.
