But the debian/rules file created by make-kpkg is supposed to take a look at the sub architecture and use that as the target. So, because I'm building on a Power Mac, it shouldn't build the .coff file, which is of no use in this case. > > I tried fiddling around make-kpkg without much success. > > make vmlinux alone works. > > how are you supposed to compile a coff format kernel on 2.4 now? > bzImage is a x86 specific thing, vmlinux at least for 2.2 kerenls > didn't bother to create anything but the uncompressed image. i think > the fault is with the kernel on this one. True. But make-kpkg should not try to build a .coff on the Pmac subarch. Cheers -- /Bastien Nocera http://hadess.net
