Bootloaders generally expect a compressed bootimage, not an elf image. Of course, if you just copied arch/sparc/boot/zImage to /boot/vmlinux-1.0, then you should be OK as long as your bootloader is pointing to it. ~Deepak -- Deepak Saxena - dsaxena@plexity.net - http://www.plexity.net/ "Waste equals food" - William McDonough & Michael Braungart, Cradle to Cradle
