Compiling the kernel in ultralinux

Compiling the kernel in ultralinux

[Alejandro Aguilar Sierra]

Hello,

I have just installed 1.1.19 (Jan11) in a ultra1. I downloaded the kernel
source and after config I followed the usual steps: make dep; make clean,
but when I do "make zImage" I just got: 

  # make zImage
  make: *** No rule to make target `zImage'.  Stop.

I have compiled exactly the same kernel (2.2.0-pre6) in a i386
without any problem.

I know this sounds stupid, but... did I miss to install any package? Any
hint? 

Thanks.

The usual steps on archs other than i386 are different:

make config; make dep; make clean; make; make modules; make modules_install

and you're done.
And, currently kernel.org kernel won't compile and/or run, as quite some
things are not merged yet from vger to Linus.
The only way how to get a kernel is anoncvs, but that's currently shut down.
But, if you install the kernel-source rpms, you should have a quite recent 
2.2.0-pre6 kernel.

Cheers,
