i wanted to rebuild my kernel and decided to try using the make-kpkg
utility,i read the info file,run make menuconfig,make dep,make clean and
finaly make-kpkg --zimage,it compiled thing but it gave me only a zImage
file,i searched long and large in the info file (read it 3 times) for
instruction on how to create a .deb file out of my compiled kernel and
found nothing,does anyone know here how i can create such package or at
least do this:
kernel_image
This target produces a Debian package of the Linux
kernel source image, and any modules configured in
the kernel configuration file .config. If there is
no .config file in the kernel source directory, a
default configuration is provided similar to the
one used to create the Debian boot-floppies. The
package produced updates the /boot/psdatabase file
at install time, it also update symbolic links in
the root directory to point to the new kernel image
in /boot. It also offers to run the Linux loader,
LILO, creating a configuration file for LILO if
needed. It also offers to put the new kernel on a
floppy, formatting the floppy if needed. On dele^m
tion, the package checks the version of the kernel
running, and refuses to delete a running kernel.
where do i define this option,i tried it on the command line ( make-kpkg
--targets=kernel_image ) but this hasn't worked,also,another
question,what's the difference between a zImage kernel and a bzImage one
???
thanks a lot
Alain
