After compilation, the kernel image is under (in the kernel source tree) arch/i386/boot/zImage or bzImage, depending on what did you say to make: make zImage or make bzImage. The latter is for bigger kernels, to allow you to boot one over 500k I think - don't know for sure the limit. If you compiled for another platform, replace i386 with that. But I don't know how to compile under i386 for something else. As for modules, the are -after "make modules"- under modules (/usr/src/linux/modules) as simbolic links, but not in the final form - e.g. not fs/vfat.o, net/x, block/cdrom.o, etc., but instead all in one dir. You could save your current directory of modules (/lib/modules/<your kernel version) and then do in the source tree make modules_install, then copy the resulted /lib/modules/<kernel-version> to wherever you want. Good luck! Iustin Pop
