Hi, Gang.

It isn't like I've never compiled a kernel before. I'm asking here
because you guys are the best. And yes, I've been a Slackware stalwart
since 1996.

Last night I patched my kernel source to version 2.6.23 and followed my
usually reliable procedure, but something weird is happening. I execute
"make bzImage", and at the end of the process, I see the usual message:

Kernel: arch/i386/boot/bzImage is ready (#1)

But when I go to cp it to /boot, all I find in arch/boot/i386/boot is
vmlinux.bin, and no bzImage has been created. *Nothing* has changed on my
system since I upgraded from kernel 2.6.15 to 2.6.22 a couple of weeks
ago. In fact, I successfully re-compiled 2.6.22 twice in the interim.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Richard Herbert

OMG!

Blame it on the beer. For once I wanted to use mc to copy the kernel
image, but I was blinded by the way it helpfully highlights +x files.

Slinking away and hoping nobody notices ... sorry! Sheesh!

BTW, the README says you can just type "make" now - no need for
"make bzImage".

Oh yeah that's a huge help! You still have to go through eight billion
options in the configurator, but once that's done you can build it in
seven fewer keystrokes...

I can never remember what to capitalize for "bzImage"....

Um ... that would be the 'I' ... ;-)

I hope I've helped!

Doesn't the iPod use a lowercase "i"? If so, that might work.
Just remember that it's the reverse.

To avoid another post, your next kernel (2.6.24) will be in
arch/x86/boot/

Thanks for the heads up; I like the change. I can't remember the last
time I touched a 386 anyway.

I should have just tried 'find . -name bzImage'. Like I said, blame it on
the beer.
