 |

I just installed Gentoo from 1.4_rc3 and I just recompiled the system to add a few more fetures but bzImage seams to be missing.

root@lappy boot #

Where did it go did I do something wrong? |

are you sure /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r2 is the directory that you performed the compile in? maybe your symlinks are pointing to the wrong place.

Are you sure you actually compiled the kernel? You need to do
| Code: | | make dep && make bzImage modules modules_install |
to compile it.
EDIT: I forgot the 'make dep' you have to do with the 2.4 kernels.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, you need to recompile the kernel every time you make changes. If you're compiling out of the same directory you used initially, you shouldn't have to wait for the whole thing, though. It'll just recompile the parts that have changed/been added.

You should definitely symlink your kernel directory to /usr/src/linux.
| Code: | | ln -s /usr/src/linux /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r2/ |
Than ...
| Code: | ls /usr/src/linux/
make menuconfig
make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install |
And finally move or copy your new bzImage to /boot (which you have to mount if not mounted already...) |

It should not be the other way? 
| Code: | | # ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r2 /usr/src/linux |
The source first, the target then.
