Re: Compiling the kernel - hiccups, and output

[Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@datasync.com>]

Hi,

	Make bzImage would place a image file under
 ./arch/$(architecture)/boot/$(kimage).  You need to care about
 bzImage, ./System.map, and ./vmlinux, which is needed for generating
 the psdatabase, needed for the commands ps and friends. You also need
 to care asbout the modules produced ...

	Umm this is getting messy.  May I suggest you install the
 package kernel-package, cd to the kernel source top, and say
 % make mrproper; make menuconfig
   configure the kernel as you wish, and say
 % make=-pkg kernel_image
   Wait. A kernel image file will be produced shortly, which may then
 be shipped home as desired. It really is far easier this way. (You
 could try make-kpkg -n kernel_image to see what it would do).
