[SOLVED]missing bzImage after kernel compilation
Hi
I have a strange problem. I want to compile a custom kernel and I do:
make oldconfig
make menuconfig
make modules
make modules_install
make bzImage
and there's no bzImage in arch/x86/boot directory. I chose *Athlon64* architecture. I tried 2.6.30 and 2.6.30.6 kernels from kernel.org.
P.S. I deleted some "unneeded" packages, but I wonder if this have impact? Kernel compiles... hmm?

Re: [SOLVED]missing bzImage after kernel compilation
before make modules_install you should do make bzImage

@Bangkok_Manuel
Thank you, but there's no x86_64 
However, I remember there was this directory when I compiled kernel some time ago... I must have something messed up...
@Combuster
before make modules_install you should do make bzImage
Alright. Thank you.

@Bangkok_Manuel
Thank you, but there's no x86_64
should be there only once you successfully built the kernel

Re: [SOLVED]missing bzImage after kernel compilation
bzImage is found in arch/x86/boot/bzImage regardless of architecture compiled, i think that in x86_64 is just symlink of bzImage in x86/boot directory...

Thanks, but it seems I don't have bzImage, because of some compile error. It's in my native language, so I have to translate it, before posting

Re: [SOLVED]missing bzImage after kernel compilation
It seems it's problem exactly like this:

I won't use old config next time and it should compile fine. Thanks.
EDIT:
Yep, it compiles fine now.
