Different compilation procedure for 2.6.29.3?

I compiled a custom kernel with the new 2.6.29.3 kernel today but this time I do not have a bzImage file in arch/x86/boot.  Instead, I have a vmlinux file at the top level of the kernel source folder.  Is this the image file I am supposed to boot from or am I missing something?

you proby should do a 'make clean' then 'make mrproper' and do it over again it should be in the arch location u specified and should be called bzImage

Re: Different compilation procedure for 2.6.29.3?

Everytime I compile a kernel, the image is called vmlinuz.

Before configuring, I run: make mrproper && make menuconfig
After configuring, I run: make && make modules_install && make install

I tried it again after redownloading the source and it worked.  I think I got a corrupted tarball download the first time.  Thanks for the help!
