You can't actually bzip a kernel image. The file "bzImage" is a little misleading. It's not actually bzipped. You can gzip the kernel, but if you want to do that, just do a "make zImage". > anyone on how to get kmod working so that I can cut the size of this kernel > down? > does kmod use the same configs as kerneld?? > > or is there a way i can use kerneld with the new kernel .. thanks I would suggest getting the package "kernel-package" to make a .deb file for the kernel image. Get the source package, then get kernel-package (and all dependancies), go to /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.10, run "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig", then run "make-kpkg", and you're almost done ... After the kernel is compiled and "Debianized", just install the .deb file, kernel-image-2.2.10 which will be in /usr/src. When you configure the kernel, configure it to support "Loadable Modules". After you install the kernel, and reboot, run "modconf". This will let you select which modules to load at start. Hope that helps!
