Make vmlinux the default target instead of zImage would seem like a better answer. I'm surprised that it isn't like that already, in fact -- and I'm only inferring that it isn't from your message. I always thought that if I typed 'make' I got the vmlinux and not a zImage. -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
