PostPosted: Tue Jun 05, 2007 6:12 am    Post subject: Stuck on Installation after kernel compile Reply with quote

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...

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Gentoo on Sparc.

That's what you get after make modules_install. Try make image separately. FYI, you should see the following:
Code:
/usr/src/linux # make image
  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.

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.
