 Posted: Sat Apr 05, 2003 1:11 am Post subject: Compiling the Linux Kernel |
 |
|
Hi, this is my first time trying to use gentoo linux (been using slackware for awhile) and I've ran into a speed bump during installation. It appears that during the process of compiling kernal
(# cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig
# make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
# cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot)
That something is missing. When I try to cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot it cannot locate bzImage in that directory. I've tried locate, and cded to the directory, and bzImage is no where to be found. I've been trying to use the gentoo kernel. Any ideas on whats going on?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
PS: The tarball that I got was stage1. |

| Yes, I even did #mount and #ls /boot/ to make sure it was mounted. |

Hi,
Did the kernel compile complete successfully? Were there any error messages? |

I've been trying to use the gentoo kernel (now trying vanilla though) and it compiled complete with zero error messages, which makes me believe that it should be working  |

That's weird.
If you want to make absolutely sure there's no 'bzImage' file on your system, try this
| Code: | | find / | grep bzImage |
It should tell you where bzImage is. If there's no bzImage, well, um, I dunno.  |
