Hmm.  I'm trying to build 2.6.20-rc2 on a little powerpc box with
arch/powerpc/configs/linkstation_defconfig, and I get:

  MODPOST vmlinux
ln: accessing `arch/powerpc/boot/zImage': No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/boot/zImage] Error 1
make: *** [zImage] Error 2

So, uh, are we forgetting to go into the right subdirectory to make the
actual zImage, or what?  If I'm just doing something wrong, I'd love to know
what it is.

I'll follow up here on lkml if I diagnose this further.  Thanks,

Followup:  Yeah, it looks like it just doesn't know which format of zImage to
produce for linkstation.

I'm not sure what image should be used by default.  I guess it depends on the
bootloader.  Maybe default to uImage, as uBoot seems to be fairly common on
these devices?

Yes, uImage is the format used on linkstation. Is there a way to cleanly 
specify this in the kernel sources apart from a comment in Kconfig?

Thanks
