cd in there and look around. x86_64 only has a boot directory and when you look at the bzImage file in it you find it's a link to ../../x86/boot/bzImage so what's happening is all the files are under x86 but if you say 'I built AMD64' and do cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage you are really getting the file under x86. Hope this helps, Mark
