Stop. it looks like the kernel is broken, make-kpkg uses the zImage target intentionally, this way you also get a .coff format image which are [i believe] useful on some machines. you always get a uncompressed kernel no matter what target which make-kpkg packs in addition to the .coff. > I tried fiddling around make-kpkg without much success. > make vmlinux alone works. how are you supposed to compile a coff format kernel on 2.4 now? bzImage is a x86 specific thing, vmlinux at least for 2.2 kerenls didn't bother to create anything but the uncompressed image. i think the fault is with the kernel on this one. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
