At the moment I see that once you
make install in the kernel source tree
fedora will automatically read the script to create
.img and so forth.

In your honest opinion what is the best way to handle
the old stale kernels in /boot i.g.(remove them without
generating a SIGSEGV).
while following through git I usually have multiple kernels,
and usually end up just removing them through time.  In this case
as soon as I removed some old vmlinuz's and so forth was when I hit this
SIGSEGV(my guess is somewhere the system keeps account as to what
is put into /boot.)
