yeah, but that's not the default (==documented) way of building a
linux kernel ;-)

linux/README:
" - Do a "make bzImage" to create a compressed kernel image."

it does not say "and update the config etc of your bootloader"


Also one does not need to run palo if one only substitutes a kernel
image in an ext2 fs I think. So this run does not seem to be
neccessary by default.



I suggest s.th. like the following (untested):
