I did have to change the names from bzimage* to kernel* but other than that, I can use the naming method I've used for years and keep the good kernels I want. On occasion I remove outdated ones I no longer plan to use. I still wish I didn't need the init thingy but still. My biggest problem, getting the dracut command options right. If I didn't need dracut, I'd be in heaven. Dale :-) :-)
