How to flash only kernel?

Is it possible to flash only kernel (zImage) and not packed boot.img (ramdisk with kernel) using fastboot?

don't think that will be possible as all this is packed in the boot.img..

Actually I think it is possible, because on N1 it works like this:

fastboot flash zimage <your_zImage>

This command I suppose writes to boot partition where zImage is and just change the one there with the custom.

I just wanted some of the developers to confirm that this will work on our devices too.

Have tested fastboot boot zimage ramdisk. It has never worked even with parts that work well whentogether in an image.

You will have to package boot image.
