Where you attempting to install the kernel into the same directory as the
running kernel? That seems to be the condition to match. Previously if
DESTDIR was set to / then it wouldn't do a kernel.old properly because the
directory of the running kernel wouldn't match. ru@ fixed that. If DESTDIR
is set to something other than / I wouldn't expect kernel.old to be created.
