14 Hi,
15
16 This happens with x86-based architectures, I believe. I use an x86_64 profile,
17 but the bzImage ends up in (from the linux directory) 'arch/x86/boot'. The
18 'arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage' is just a symlink to that.
19
20 It is probably because most of the base kernel source for any x86 based
21 processor is the same. I wouldn't worry about it, unless your system
22 identifies the kernel as an i386 kernel.
