Hi Josh,

I succesfully built the kernel but I am confused as
to which one of the many vmunix produced is the one
appropriate for rawhides?  In the obj directory there
are the following directories

BINARY FLAMINGO GAMMA GENERIC MIKASA NORITAKE SABLE TLASER 

Which one of those contains the vmunix for the rawhides if any?

Thanks
Leonidas

What pool are you working in? Here's the kernels that are in PTB and PTC: 	

root@deadwood [54] ls
./            BINARY/       NORITAKE/     bin/          nfs/
../           COBRA/        PELICAN/      bsd/          procfs/
ALCOR/        EB164/        PINKASA/      conf/         sec/
ALPHABOOK1/   EB66PLUS/     PINTAKE/      data/         src/
ALPHAPC64/    FLAMINGO/     RAWHIDE/      dec/          streams/
ALPHAVME224/  GAMMA/        RUBY/         dli/          streamsm/
ALPHAVME320/  GENERIC/      SABLE/        include/      ted/
AVANTI/       INSTALL/      SAS/          io/           ufs/
AVANTI.LITE/  JENSEN/       TAKARA/       kern/         vfs/
AXPPCI33/     LEGO/         TLASER/       lat/
AXPVME64/     MIKASA/       arch/         net/


The support pools have truncated the list to intentionally not build them all, 
but you still should be able to specify RAWHIDE.

Being a kernel developer/maintainer I've encountered exactly this problem
enough times that I had to make a repeatable way of finding kernel
information.  I've built web page which uses Alex Malone's database of
project->kernel translations.  Visit this page at:
    http://www.zk3.dec.com/~mikel/projkern.html

Lots of additional info can be found at:
