Description Tom Guptill 2003-06-12 11:05:57 UTC 
Code block listing 16.4 reads:

# make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
# cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot

The "bzImage" target is not valid on the SPARC.  This code block appears to have
been copied from the x86 install instructions, and should probably be replaced with:

# make dep && make clean vmlinux modules modules_install

(The second line should be deleted, since it's covered in code listing 16.6)

Changed in doc.
Comment 2 Tom Guptill 2003-06-13 11:18:25 UTC 
I think the second line still needs to have "i386" changed to "SPARC"...
Comment 3 Tom Guptill 2003-06-13 11:20:29 UTC 
oops..the "vmlinux" file is actually in the root of the kernel source tree, meaning the second line should point to "/usr/src/linux/vmlinux".

Comment 4 Joe Kallar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-13 12:00:06 UTC 
Corrected to point to the correct location: "/usr/src/linux/vmlinux"
