Running rt preempt
hello,
I recently patched and compiled a new kernel, based on the standard linux 4.4 kernel and the rt preempt 18 patch.
The compilation went successfully.
I need to load the new kernel and have no idea where the original boot executable resides, as that is where the new one seems to need to be copied to.
Presently uname -r lists the stock unpatched kernel version. How can I remedy this ? running ubuntu 16.04 Thanks.

I saw this and tried some of it. Instructions are incomplete, many of the commands dont work. How do I edit the boot image? Seems like it lives in the fat32 partition on the sd card. If i can get the kernel compile to work, how do i ad the root file system?
mounting sdcard or system.img (complete image to flash) the boot.img will be visible and needs to be mounted itself., i use gnome-disk-utility (preinstalled on ubuntu).

thank you for the link. Im not having a lot of luck compiling the firefly sources with the rt preempt patch, keep getting failed hunks of patched files. Would the mainline 4.4133 kernel sources work on the firefly? That patches and compiles with the rockchip_linux.deconfig. Suggetsions.
