I was wondering what would be the best way to lift a pre-built kernel from a stage 3 build and dropping it into a system that had been brought up from a stage 1 build. The reason that I would like to do this is that I'm having trouble getting a kernel to boot on a new system that I just installed and would like to be able to rule out my kernel configuration as an error.  I'm thinking that I can just unzip the stage 3 tbz in a temporary directory and then sort through for the kernel, but I've never done a stage 3 build and don't really know what's in the tbz file. Would this work?

| Code: | # cp /boot/bzImage /mnt/floppy/
# cp /usr/src/linux/.config /mnt/floppy/ |
The first line grabs the kernel, the second grabs the config; if you built anything as modules, you'll have to rebuild those on your other box.
