Compiling the kernel...bzImage..
when compiling the kernel and you run ''make bzImage'
the newly complied kernel shold be created and compressed to this directory 'usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot ' when I do it, it doesnt.... is there anywhere else it could be created or how do I find it? thanks R :) |
What architecture do you have?
|
what do u mean?
kernel version is: 2.4.19 distribution: linux rock i386??? is this what you need R |
What processor do you have? Is your machine a PC or mac or what? That's what I meant, sorry for the confusion.

Wow, damn, I thought I was onto something :D
Are you sure it's not in there? If you are going to /usr/src/linux are you sure the symlink linux is set to your correct kernel version? I would go to the absolute path, and not follow symlinks just to be sure if I were you. So if this is kernel 2.4.19, it would be /usr/src/linux-2.4.19/arch/i386/boot/bzImage Also, if you are going in there with a GUI fileman, try the command line: cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.19/arch/i386/boot ls -l (LS -L but lowercase) And then see if it's there. HTH |
And if for some odd reason I am correct, and your symlink is wrong, once you get your system running with your new kernel, and everything is cool, change the symlink to fit your new kernel:
ln -sf /usr/src/linux-2.4.19 /usr/src/linux Cool |
the following files are i the /usr/src/linux-2.4.19/arch/i386/boot
Makefile bootsect.S compressed install.sh setup.S tools video.S however no bzImage in the src directory are the following: kernel linux-2.4.17 linux-2.4.17.tar.bz2 linux-2.4.19 linux-2.4.19.tar.bz rock-1.5 rock-src ps.. thanks for the help |
I have read that some distros when compiling the new kernels automagically move them to their respective directories for you. So bzImage might be /boot already.
How did you run your kernel compile, and what distro do you have? Oh wait, I am guessing Rock is your distro, never heard of that one... What is linux-2.4.19.tar.bz ? And, Hi! Welcome to LQ even though I am ~11 posts late. And can you also show me what's in your linux-2.4.19 directory? Thanks. Cool |
compiled using:
make menuconfig make dep make clean make modules make modules_install make zImage contents of linux-2.4.19 directory directory: COPYING CREDITS Documentation MAINTAINERS Makefile REPORTING-BUGS drivers init lib scripts Rules.make fs ipc README arch include kernel mm net and finally distribution is linux rock |
You know, I don't see a System.map file in there, which after each kernel compile I have ever done is in the linux-2.4.xx directory.
I do make bzImage, but that shouldn't matter. Are you doing it as root, or does your user have write-ability in those directories. To be safe I'd do it as root. And I checked out rock a bit just now, it appears to be a developing distro to develop distros. Cool idea! But being that, it may put the kernel and System.map directly into /boot for you, I am not sure though. Check that directory and see if it already put it there for you. Did you get your kernel from the kernel.org? And did you get the whole thing (I would assume a yes to both these questions). If so, I have no idea what's going on if none of those other ideas return zilch. Like I said though, try it with root if you aren't already. Cool |
hay there...
you were right... the System.map file is in /boot all this has been done as root privilage. i dont know where the kernel actually came from cause it was already on the machine when I got it. |
