That's only safe to do if the kernel is built for one specific CPU - if it's a generic kernel that boots on multiple hardware designs, it will be wrong for some systems.
In other words - safe to do if you're building it for *your* hardware. Totally unsafe for a distro. [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
