BTW: I'd just kill old zImage and make it identical to bzImage (I mean "make zImage" would now produce arch/i386/zImage identical to arch/i386/bzImage made by "make bzImage"). Then we could use zImage as for other platforms. -- Krzysztof Halasa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
