Description Don Pine 2009-12-08 19:33:26 UTC

In Sparc Handbook 7.c Code Listing 3.11: Installing the kernel, lists wrong location:

# cp arch/sparc64/boot/image /boot/<kernel-version>

The actual location that the image is compiled into:
 
     arch/sparc/boot/image  (note diff of sparc and sparc64)

So the code should read:

# cp arch/sparc/boot/image /boot/<kernel-version>





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.# cp arch/sparc64/boot/image /boot/<kernel-version>
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
file as listed does not exist

Expected Results:  
file copied to /boot/<kernel-version>

Not sure if build should be changed to follow Handbook, or if Handbook should be changed to follow build.

Bug produced from build of gentoo-sources linux-2.6.30-r8 on an Ultra 5.
