From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: I can't make a new kernel with the stock 7.2 release. I'm reading the online documentation, and all is going well when building kernel. Until I enter "make bzImage" per documentation. The command is not valid, and there is no such option in the makefile. How do I build a custom kernel? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. enter make bzImage 2. 3. Actual Results: make: *** No rule to make target `bzImage'. Stop. Expected Results: Expected it to continue building kernel. Additional info:
ia64 indeed does not have bzImage target... Fwiw 7.2/ia64 is end-of-life and only works on merced-class cpus (eg Itanium I not the Itanium II cpus that are current)
I have itanium-1 system, and the O/S has been in production for several years. This is first time I needed to rebuild the kernel. I'm using stock distibution, and the Makefile doesn't create an option for bzImage, or anything similar. make clean, make dep all worked fine.
