Description Malte Starostik 2004-06-15 21:45:05 UTC

/sbin/installkernel runs mkboot assuming /usr/sbin is in $PATH.
This is not the case when run via sudo thus make install in the kernel source dir fails.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. configure kernel
2. build it
3. run make install as non-root via sudo

Actual Results:  
mkboot isn't found

Expected Results:  
well, it should just work :-)

workaround: PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH sudo make install

This is a debianutils issue; not a kernel issue. Reassigning to base-system...
