#4 How to get "compressed" kernel?

[Anonymous]

I run make_root_fs and check_root_fs successfully, but then

write_rescue_disk fails invariably with the following error:

Logging output to /var/log/yard/write_rescue_disk.log
write_rescue_disk 2.2
Error: It looks like the kernel you specified (/vmlinuz)
is uncompressed. It should be the compressed version.

This is the kernel that comes straight off of the debian (3.0r0) CD.

If it is not compressed, I have no idea what to do to make it so. It
kind of looks like it really is compressed, since the first message
upon booting it says:

Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting kernel.

I doubt this is really a bug in yard, but I can't find any configuration
setting in my setup that could be the culprit either.

Please help! Nick Dreyer (gurfle@oz.net)

I just commented out the test in write_rescue_disk. There is a
comment in the script "This test is slightly pointless".

The script ran fine after I commented out the test.

Give the FULL PATH of the "vmlinuz". If it is REDHAT, it is
usually /boot/vmlinuz
