no bzImage file???

abrand15 · Guest

Has anyone seen the issue where no bzImage was created?

I tried compiling the kernel using the two following methods and both failed:

1) make menuconfig
2) make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install

AND

1) make clean
2) make menuconfig
3) make dep
4) make
5) make bzImage
6) make modules
7) make install

make modules_install

I have used the later method succesfully on Red Hat in the past multiple times.

For this installation, I selected the xfs-sources.

Did make bzImage complete successfully?

I did not see any errors, but was unable to monitor the entire process

...and arch/i386/boot/bzImage doesn't exist?

I think "make install" installs the kernel as vmlinuz instead of bzImage.
Also, make sure you've mounted /boot before you copy the kernel.
(This assuming you meant that there's no bzImage in /boot after installation instead of what delta407 said)
Hope this helps
