i want to compile my kernel (amd64) and this works.

But it show's that the kernel is in arch/x86/boot/bzImage. :?

I'm confused, because the instructions manual tells, that the kernel should be in arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage.

Is it now 32 or 64 bit? :?

Does someone have an advice / explanation?

thanks for help :)


(excuse me for my bad english)

Not really, it's just a symlink ;)

Code:
$ ls -l /usr/src/linux/arch/x86_64/boot
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jun 11 16:27 bzImage -> ../../x86/boot/bzImage

To see what executable you have use file command:
Code:

~# file /boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r`
