Posted: Tue Jun 05, 2007 6:12 am Post subject: Stuck on Installation after kernel compile |
|
|
I'm using the universal CD (SPARC64 Platform) and following the handbook installation guide.
I've made it to chapter 7: Kernel Config.
Done manually configuring the kernel (step 7c)
Checked size of kernal (4.3MB)
I run make && make image modules_install: There were no errors that I saw. (Don't really know though)
The last line was
"if [ -r System.map -s -x /sbin/depmod ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F Sysmem.map 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 fi"
I cannot copy the kernel in the next step. /arch/sparc64/boot/image is not found.
I sure somewhere in all the text that went by it said that it was created. |

I'm not entirely sure about the Sparc platform but I'm sure the kernel is called
bzImage and is located in arch/sparc64/boot/
Perhaps check that file. It looks to me like your kernel compile completed
sucessfully...

CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h
CHK include/linux/compile.h
MODPOST vmlinux
kernel: arch/sparc64/boot/image is ready | which tells you that your kernel is arch/sparc64/boot/image

On sparc you've gotta aim for vmlinux or arch/sparc64/boot/image (with make image) as neysx says.
The only platforms that use bzImage IIRC is x86 and amd64, and that's because they need a compressed kernel because of BIOS limits.
A compressed kernel itself is useless on any other platform that doesn't require it, the kernel will end up taking the same space on ram since it runs uncompressed. _________________ Gustavo Zacarias

Thanks to all who posted.
@neysx:
The message saying the 'image is ready' was the one I saw before.
But running 'make image' on it's own like you said allowed me to copy without error this time. |
