Oh my dear - what has happened! I thought the inquiry was very clear, this has nothing to do with package installing! Of course I installed all neccessary src's, how would I've launched make xconfig without doing this first? The kernel compiled without any errors - but which file is the correct one? I'm aware my expressing is not as good as someone who grew up with english as his native language - but is it that bad? As getting no helpful answer I'll append the original inquiry below. hopefully, Robert -oh , did you mix up the question from Matthew with mine? ***************************** Just rebuilt my first 2.2.17 kernel, unfortunatly I'm not able to find the kernelimage(!) The readme reports to look at /usr/src/././arch/i386/boot/ but _this_ zImage is a binary only of 25xx bytes! There's one vmlinux at /usr/src/././arch/i386/boot/compressed/ in 0.6MB size - quite contrary to the present kernel at ~1MB of size(!). Would this be the apropiate one ? (all SCSI stuff and IP-tunneling etc is removed) I'm very very pertubed because the 2.0.x kernel I recently compiled was only a bit smaller but enclosed tunnelling, firewalling etc and was found at .../boot/zImage. Additionally the apropiate 2.0.x kernelimage was _not_ a executable, the present 2.2.17 kernel at /boot/ is a executable! Could someone kindly clarify? Actually I'm in great need of help because I had missed to tar the old /lib directory so the present modules are all overwritten.
