This patch adds an option to | the Advanced Kernel option to create an /boot/uImage symbolic link to | the built kernel. Please consider applying, this really improves | usability, if this naming scheme is to be kept. | | Kind Regards, | Thiago A. Correa | Looking at your patch, I see that we are talking about two different things. There is a feature to copy the linux kernel to /tftpboot directory, which I thought you were referring to, but If you want the kernel inside the root file system, then would it not make more sense to do: - cp -dpf $(LINUX26_KERNEL) $(TARGET_DIR)/boot/$(LINUX26_KERNEL_NAME) + cp -dpf $(LINUX26_KERNEL) $(TARGET_DIR)/boot/$(BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_FORMAT) where BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_FORMAT could be uImage, bzImage, vmlinux etc. Best Regards Ulf Samuelsson
