| |
Hello,
perhaps someone here has a couple of minutes to explain me the difference between these two vmlinuz files from different distributions:
$file /boot/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37-40-desktop: Linux/x86 Kernel, Setup Version 0x20a, bzImage, Version 2.6.37, Version 2.6.37-40, RO-rootFS, root_dev 0x301, swap_dev 0x4, Normal VGA
$file /boot/vmlinuz vmlinuz: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1, stripped
the second file seems to be in ELF format and I cannot use it with my cluster management software.
Is there a parameter I can use to compile the kernel image in one format or the other? or a tool to convert them?
I couldn't find any hint on Google, nor I really know what exactly to look for.
Thanks for any help. Alvaro.
