bzImage won't !!! (More problems with 7.1)
Hi List, This hasn't been my weekend. I've never had so many problems doing a simple scratch install. On 7.0, 6.4, 6.3 and 6.2 it usually took 3-4 hours, mainly because of sane + scsi + mustek scanner, and ppa zip100 install. With 7.1 I've did an upgrade first (something I rarely do because of previous problems upgrade 5.3 to 6.0). It was plagued with problems. So, at about 2pm Saturday I started a scratch install. KDE2 appeared, in stable form, about 3am Sunday morning... unbelievable. The gpm cut&paste mouse utility won't stay loaded, so I randomly lose my rodent. (I know, gpm is for serial mice, mainly, but it has been working well for a LONG time. Why the change?) Today, I was going to do a simple kernel recompile to install my ncr53c8xx scsi drivers so I could get my scanner going, along with my ppa zip100 stuff (my drive is too old for imm). But, I can't get the '"make bzImage" command to make the vmlinuz file. I've tried all possible cpu version for my P166, and I'm currently back to the default cpu version. I've reloaded bzip2, gzip, lzip and compress, just to make sure they were on the system. I've modularized absoluttely EVERYTHING except my eth0 and scsi drivers and i still CAN'T get the kernel compile to create 'vmlinuz" What it insists on creating is "vmlinux". Further, vmlinux has a size of 1.6MB, which is way too big. The installed kernel, vmlinuz, is only 960KB. Ok, SuSE folks. What do I do now? (I am considering reinstalling 7.0, so don't suggest it, even in humor :( ) JLK
Never mind.... dumb question....
No, that was the problem. What I found was vmlinux at 1.6MB!!! The solution was (duh!!! I feel so stupid mentioning this.) .... scroll up... but hey, I'm 60 and I had been up nearly 20 hours with other 7.1 problems. (Will that work as an excuse?) JLK On Monday 26 February 2001 03:52, muzh wrote:
You found the kernel as bzImage in arch/i386/boot -- right?
