Bug 232711 – hb-install-ppc-kernel.xml - Confusing messages for copying kernel image

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: [OLD] Docs on www.gentoo.org

[Description Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2008-07-23 04:08:38 UTC]

Some users appear to be confused by the following code (where in one example a specific version is mentioned, but not in another example):

= Code Listing 3.11: Installing the kernel =
# cd /usr/src/linux
Note, your kernel version might be different
(Apple/IBM)
# cp vmlinux /boot/kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r5
(Pegasos)
# cp arch/powerpc/boot/images/zImage /boot/<kernel-version>

This would seem to be the fix:
