Having a portable kernel is a lot simpler than trying to rescue a
non-bootable machine from a live CD.
True - but then I can just grab a distro stock kernel before I swap
HDDs.
You still need to go through the aggravation of booting from a live CD
then setting up a chroot environment just to get around the fact that
you compiled a non-portable kernel. You wouldn't have to do any of that
if you had just stuck with the stock kernel.
I must have misunderstood what you meant. If machine A is non-bootable,
then I need to recover using resources from machine B. But even if
machine B generally runs my custom kernel, before I pull its HDD and
move it to A, I can just add a stock kernel to B. Can you explain what
you mean here?
