[solved] mkinitcpio & custom kernels

I have recently started using the custom kernel from repo-ck (ck-core2). I also have the regular linuk kernel installed, but boot (via syslinux) to the ck version.

Today, the regular linux kernel updated & mkinitcpio was run by pacman.....

So to my question...

Do I need to

 sudo mkinitcpio -p linux-ck 

  ?

I did this anyway, but was it required ?

Re: [solved] mkinitcpio & custom kernels

When linux-ck is updated, the linux-ck kernel is downloaded with pacman, 'mkinitcpio -p linux-ck' will be run automatically.
If only the regular linux kernel has been updated, there's no need to run 'mkinitcpio -p linux-ck'.
