Actually, th make bzImage is an Intel only hack, also you won't have
anything in a i386 folder on a PPC. This is what you would probalbly want
to do:
make menuconfig (then select kernel options)
make dep
make vmlinux
make modules
make modules_install
then move your new kernel (vmlinux) into /boot (NOTE: you might want to
rename it so that you know which version it is and so that it doesn't
clobber any existing kernels)
either setup symlinks accordingly or modify /etc/yaboot.conf
run ybin (if you modified yaboot.conf)
then cross your fingers.
This should do the trick, but I've been going 400 mph today, so I'm not
sure what state my brain is in.
Cheers,
Chris
