I think of them after being bored with repetitive work. I hope they will be useful to everyone. The following are two tips for kernel image:

1. create a symbol-link to point to the target kernel image with your fixed name (the kernel image made after the soure file is modified). In this way, it is much easier to copy/move this kernel for testing.

2. implement automatic change of kernel image name (bzImage etc by default) Change $ SRC_TOPDIR/arch/xxx (xxx here will always be I386 for my folks) add a custom name change rule under the/boot/Makefile bzImage rule: bzImage :..... mv bzImage Apsl3-bzImage (Any name u like) if you are using grub, you will find that you can use the e command to edit it when testing the new kernel.
