hey guys im havin an error
im on compiling and installing the Kernal in the manual
make dep && make bzImage modules modules_install > i just typed that it installed the kernal but i got this error at the bottom
no rule to make target 'bzimage'. stop
so the next command im supposed to do is
cp arch/i386/boot/bzimage /boot/kernal-2.2.26-gentoo-r9 but it doesnt work because bzimage wasnt created
is this mandatory or can i skip this? and does anyone know how to fix it? |

Just a quick question for you. Why are you using the 2.2.x series kernel? Why not 2.4 or 2.6?
From what I can deduce in your message, you're bzImage file is not getting created. When it says that no rule stuff, it's dying there. You'll need to fix that first.
Sorry, i just saw the other posts.
in your /usr/src/linux directory, can you type the command make bzImage, and tell us what the output of that commmand is.

Sorry, I misread your reply, are you sure you did bzImage? because you gave off a | Quote: | | no rule to make target 'bzimage'. stop |
bzImage is case sensitive and should be make bzImage and now make bzimage. But since the 2.4.x kernel series are old now, you should probably look into the 2.6.x series seeing how they're faster.

Your kernel isn't installed, its not even compiled yet, just continue after make dep and you should be fine, don't forget to make modules and make modules_install if you compiled any modules.
EDIT: to answer you last question in your inital post, YES! a kernel is mandatory, its the heart of the linux system, without a kernel you cannot boot your system.

im going to assume you did emerge gentoo-sources?
| Code: | | emerge gentoo-dev-sources |
will give you the latest gentoo source in the 2.6.x tree which i believe is 2.6.8-r7 or -r6 |

the layout in make menuconfig is different in the 2.6.x series, but its kinda easy to navagate, just remember, to install your kernel:
| Code: | | make && make modules mosules_install install |
and that'll install your kernel as vmlinuz-2.6.8-r6 or whatever your kernel version, you can rename it to kernel-2.6.8-r6 just by | Code: | | mv /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-r6 kernel-2.6.8-r6 |
Good luck with your kernel. |

| Alot of people say its best to do your kernel by hand, i always have, i don't know the difference between making with genkernel and by hand, but im sure there is a post on this somewhere in the forums. |
