where's the kernel

[PanicSamuel]

I compiled it once and it copied over but the kernel was too big.
and now the ones I compile dissapear.

I emerge with vanilla sources, then I build the kernel.
First I compile with
make dep && make vmlinux image modules modules_install
then I type in cp arch/sparc64/boot/image /boot/kernel-2.4.26
and it gives me this message
cp: cannot stat arch/sparc64/boot/image: No such file or directory
Then if I type
ls arch/sparc64/boot it says
makefile piggyback.c

there is no file image

I think the image would be

spike linux # pwd
/usr/src/linux
spike linux # ls -al arch/sparc64/boot/
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 26 21:22 .
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Jul 26 21:22 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42 Jul 26 21:21 .gitignore
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1017 Jul 26 21:21 Makefile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3805 Jul 26 21:21 piggyback.c
spike linux #


this is with /linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r4

your bzImage should be there after you compiled and built the kernel.

nope, its not.. but I figured out what happened..
in /usr/src/linux, after the make, I got
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4328847 Jul 27 07:52 vmlinux

which did not show up in the arch/sparc64/boot/ directory
so anyway, I did a gzip -v9 vmlinux
and copied that baby over to /boot with a decent filename, and everything works.

emerge genkernel
