Re: Various way to build the kernel?

[jmcdowell]

  Well, I haven't found a specific utility of any kind yet.
  I have been trying to use the existing make process, as I think that is
where this hack came from. I am performing a make zlilo right now, to
see what that produces.

  I am trying to build the x86 boot sector kernel from any kernel, but at
the moment it's 2.6.28.7.  This is for a clustering payload.  The kernel
will be combined with a payload, and initrd.  But I can't get past the
kernel booting, because it's not an x86 boot sector kernel.

 Thanks,

   Joshua
