Each kernel architecture has a set of specific targets unique to it. Table 10-8 shows the targets available for the 32-bit Intel architecture.
Table 10-8. 32-bit Intel architecture-specific targets
Target | Description |
|---|
bzImage | Creates a compressed kernel image and places it in the arch/i386/boot/bzImage file. This is the default target for the i386 kernel build. |
install | Installs the kernel image using the distribution-specific /sbin/installkernel program. Note that this does not install the kernel modules; that must be done with the modules_install target. |
bzdisk | Creates a boot floppy image and writes it to the /dev/fd0 device. |
fdimage | Creates a boot floppy image and places it in the file arch/i386/boot/fdimage. The mtools package must be present on your system in order for this to work properly. |
isoimage | Creates a CD-ROM boot image and places it in the file arch/i396/boot/image.iso. The syslinux package must be present on your system in order for this to work properly. |
