I just use the old fashion way of cp and make modules_install ;)The only advantage I see is that I get a deb package of the kernel I am compiling. But with the trouble of having to do a clean and then recompiling everything even after a teeny bit tweak of config, I am wondering if it is worth obtaining the deb anymore. ->HSSet 'do_clean := NO' in /etc/kernel-pkg.conf. I have in the past modified the config slightly and rebuilt the package with the same revision #. Just be aware that you will clobber your existing kernel and need an immediate reboot.
When I am recompiling a kernel with the same version and revision and skipping the "make-kpkg clean" step, the kernel name is going to be exactly the same. So I reboot into an alternate kernel first to stay clear of any pitfalls that may result due to the 'clobbering' of the recompiled kernel.
