1 Ok, I'm sure I'm suffering user brain damage, so help
2 cure me.

4 I'm trying to boot my XL 366 (a MILO only machine).
5 I've got a 2.6 kernel built and I'm trying to boot it
6 without much success. When I go to boot it, MILO is
7 telling me "invalid compressed file" (or something
8 like that; it's not in front of me at the moment)
9
10 I followed the instruction in the current Gentoo
11 Handbook (Alpha edition), which says to do a "make &&
12 make modules_install" (after a "make menuconfig" of
13 course). Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't it used
14 to be something like "make bzimage" on Alpha? Is the
15 handbook wrong?
16
17 What am I doing wrong? (I'm sure it's something dumb)
18
19 Thanks,
20 Jeff D
