  i'm guessing what i'm about to ask is grub2-related.  after
configuring my kernel source tree (2.6.34-rc7), the resulting "make"
ran to completion, so i have a new kernel image and about a kajillion
module files ready to go.

  from my fedora days, all i'd do then is just:

  # make modules_install
  # make install
  # reboot

which would install the kernel in /boot, the modules under
/lib/modules, and would update the grub config file.  however, this is
grub2, so i have no idea what the proper incantation is or whether the
kernel tree supports grub2 and the appropriate grub2 config file
updates.

  personally, i would prefer to not have to create entire packages of
the above, solely for the purpose of just turning around and
installing them.  recipe?  should i simply keep reading this?
