Updated to 7.1.3 version

For non-systemd-boot don't forget to generate initframs:

GRUB

Copy the kernel to your boot partition:

sudo cp vmlinuz-lowakernel-universal /boot/

Generate initramfs for your distro:

Arch / Arch-based

sudo mkinitcpio -k 7.1.2-lowakernel-universal -g /boot/initramfs-lowakernel-universal.img

Fedora

sudo dracut /boot/initramfs-lowakernel-universal.img 7.1.2-lowakernel-universal

Ubuntu / Debian

sudo update-initramfs -c -k 7.1.2-lowakernel-universal

Add an entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom:

menuentry "lowakernel-universal" {
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root YOUR_UUID
linux /boot/vmlinuz-lowakernel-universal root=UUID=YOUR_UUID rw quiet
initrd /boot/initramfs-lowakernel-universal.img
}

Replace YOUR_UUID with your root partition UUID (find it with blkid), then update GRUB:

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

rEFInd

Copy the kernel to your boot partition:

sudo cp vmlinuz-lowakernel-universal /boot/

Generate initramfs for your distro (same commands as GRUB section above), then add a stanza to /boot/refind_linux.conf:

"lowakernel-universal" "root=UUID=YOUR_UUID rw quiet initrd=/boot/initramfs-lowakernel-universal.img"

Replace YOUR_UUID with your root partition UUID.
