[gentoo-user] cp: cannot stat 'arch/i386/kernel/bzImage': No such file or directory

I'm trying to install a 2.6.16-hardened-r11 kernel and I keep getting this
error:

cp: cannot stat 'arch/i386/kernel/bzImage': No such file or directory

 

I dl'd the stage3-x86-hardened-2.6-2006.0.tar.bz2 and the
portage-latest.tar.bz2 files. I've been following the handbook instructions
verbatim for 2.6 kernel, everything has gone fine up to this point with no
errors displayed. I configured and built the kernel with no errors (that I
could see) and executed "make && make modules_install". Everything seems
okay until I run "cp arch/i386/kernel/bzImage
/boot/kernel-2.6.16-hardened-r11" per the handbook instructions. Then I get
the error above that the bzImage file cannot be found. 

 

When I run "ls -l /usr/src/linux" it points to linux-2.6.16-hardened-r11, so
I've tried using that name too, but still received the same error. Any help
would be appreciated, please let me know if I need to provide any additional
info.

 

Thanks

Isn't bzImage supposed to be in arch/i386/boot ??

That was it, thanks a lot! Thanks a million, I can't believe I overlooked
that in the handbook!

If at that moment you typed pwd you would see that you were not in 
the /usr/src/linux directory and therefore the path to 
arch/i386/kernel/bzImage could not be found.  Go back into /usr/src/linux 
before you run again the cp command:

cd /usr/src/linux
cp arch/i386/kernel/bzImage /boot/'whatever_you_want_to_call_it'

Also my kernel isn´t in arch/i386/kernel/bzImage but in
arch/i386/boot/bzImage.

"make install" would have copied the kernel without all this hassle.

Well, not much of a hassle if he had just gotten the path right...

I seem to recall getting bitten in the past by 'make install'. I think it 
overwrote my existing kernel, and insisted on running lilo (I use grub). I 
have just moved it manually since.

I just had a look at 'make help':

  install       - Install kernel using
                   (your) ~/bin/installkernel or
                   (distribution) /sbin/installkernel or
                   install to $(INSTALL_PATH) and run lilo

Gentoo does have a /sbin/installkernel but it seems to be designed for Debian. 
Can you confirm then that this works fine on Gentoo and does _not_ try to run 
lilo? I can see myself it appends a version number so it should not overwrite 
an older kernel... maybe I will write my own ~/bin/installkernel, so it can 
update my grub.conf manually.

Yes I can. I believe it runs lilo is lilo is present, because you need to
re-run lilo when installing a new kernel, but I use GRUB so that's not an
issue. The kernel is copied to vmlinuz-version (or vmlinux-version on
PPC, don't ask me why) and symlinked to vmlinuz. The previous kernel is
symlinked to vmlinuz.old. As long as your GRUB menu has entries for these
two names, you'll always be able to choose between your new and previous
kernel when booting, without even having to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst.

Great, thanks...

I'll give it a try next time.
