As a general rule RHEL/Fedora tries to build a /boot partition that is a file system that grub can boot from. So if you want to boot the kernel then you would likely want to install it into /boot. I am assuming that you want to boot the kernel you build. If I were doing this I would be building the kernel from an rpm spec file making my change to the spec to support what I am looking for. Then I would use the standard DNF/YUM/RPM install the kernel for booting. On 2025-12-02 14:26, William Park via Talk wrote:

Question for Fedora guys... How do you install kernel on your Fedora?
On Debian/Ubuntu, after compiling kernel, I usually do make zinstall INSTALL_PATH=boot_install and the 3 files (vmlinuz config, System.map) will be copied to "boot_install/" directory.
On Fedora, - it tries to copy to "/boot", which is not what I want. - it calls out to grub, which is also not what I want.
