Hi<br><div class="gmail_quote"><br>I have a simple question I am really hoping you will be able to answer.<br>
<br>
I have Fedora 12 installed on my PS3. This installs the yaboot<br>
bootloader and the stock kernel, of course. The yaboot bootloader<br>
expects a compressed kernel, i.e. a vmlinuz file.<br>
<br>
However, (native) compiling the stock kernel on the PS3 creates an<br>
uncompressed kernel, i.e. a vmlinux file. From a brief web search it<br>
looks like this is the correct file format on PPC64 architecture, but<br>
then yaboot refuses to boot it. Even the 'make install' process does<br>
not automatically insert the new entry in /boot/yaboot/yaboot.conf, as<br>
it does in the PC architecture by modifying /boot/grub.conf. I tried<br>
manually editing the yaboot.conf file to make an entry for the new<br>
kernel (and the associated Ramdisk etc), but the bootloader simply<br>
hangs while trying to boot the uncompressed kernel.<br>
<br>
My simple question is: how do I compile the stock kernel that I can<br>
boot with a Fedora installed yaboot boot loader, or, generate a<br>
vmlinuz compressed kernel file?<br>
<br>
Thanks and regards<br>
