cd in there and look around. x86_64 only has a boot directory and when |
| 22 |
you look at the bzImage file in it you find it's a link to |
| 23 |
../../x86/boot/bzImage so what's happening is all the files are under |
| 24 |
x86 but if you say 'I built AMD64' and do cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage |
| 25 |
you are really getting the file under x86. |

Hope this helps, |
