What could be the problem?
There is a file called README in the top level of the kernel sources.
% grep make README
always shows the same sequence for building a kernel
make mrproper or make oldconfig
make (choose configurator)
make
sudo make modules_install install
Examination of the makefile should show that there is not a target called
bzImage.
But there used to be. Sounds like someone either has old instructions or
has not upgraded their memories on kernel building.
