zImage is just the compressed vmlinux file, isn't it ? in this case it is needed for apus. That said, back then for when i was doing apus kernel work, and in charge of the -apus kernel images, i added a vmlinux.gz target to build the needed kernel. Are zImage and vmlinux.gz (also called vmlinuz) the same ? Friendly, Sven Luther
