Oliver,

You need to do a "make image" somewhere in there.  Then, copy the resulting
"image" file to /boot.  You can copy System.map if you want.  It's not
really needed, but doing so will avoid some confusing warning messages at
boot time.

The only files you _really_ need are "image," your parmfile, and the
"ipltext" file, which is usually ipleckd.boot.  Note that with 2.4 kernels,
/etc/zipl.conf will have some bearing on what files actually get used to
write out the IPL information.  Take a look at that file to understand
what's being used for what.

Subject: Kernel Compile Woes


I have successfully recompiled the kernel as follows:

cd /usr/src/linux-2.4
make xconfig
make dep clean boot modules modules_install

cp /usr/src/linux-2.4/System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.9-17
cd /usr/src/linux-2.4/arch/boot and where is vmlinuz????

Is /usr/src/linux-2.4/vmlinux bootable?
Do I use this instead of vmlinuz?
What files should be copied over to /boot in order to use my new kernel?

Thanks.
