kernel still resides in the root

kernel still resides in the root

[Blesson Paul]

Hi
                I just completed the full compilation. But there is one still
missing factor. I uncommented the INSTALL_PATH=/boot. But still the vmlinux
still resides in the directory where i compiled the kernel. Why is it so. What
to do if the kernel should be present in the boot directory.

You did run make install? Do you have a custom install script in
/sbin/installkernel?

The vmlinux you see is the uncompressed kernel. If you compiled with
make bzImage, zImage, etc the resulting compressed kernel is at
arch/<your arch>/boot/. You then either run make install or 
	cp ./System.map arch/<your arch>/boot/<kernel> /boot
