Subject: RE: [suse-sparc] Kernel Compile

    Hans,

    Thanks for the reply...

    I noticed that my current installed kernel under '/boot' is "vmlinuz"
    and you mention "vmlinux". I took the SuSE 2.4.14 kernel source and
    used the /boot/vmlinuz.config to recompile the kernel with just one
    change, scsi tape support built into the kernel. Now the file vmlinux
    under /usr/src/linux is of size 3257176, while the original kernel
    /boot/vmlinuz is of size 1256669.

    This seems alittle odd. Am I missing something? Where is the kernel
    file located under /usr/src/linux once compiled?

    Thanks,
    John
