Hi,

I have rebuilt the Sapphire-kernel. But the generated image directory
"./arch/arm/boot/" only contain zImage and Image. But the zImage
couldn't boot the Android phone. Maybe uImage is needed. Does anyone
know how to configure before building the kernel in order to general
uImage? Thank you very much!

At the same time, I would like to thank Mike Chan who really give me a
lot of very helpfull suggestions about how to build the Android kernel
and how to do DVFS on ADP2. Your help makes my research go much more
smoothly. Thank you again!

hi,

when u give make it only generate the zImage. now u need to give make uImage, so that it will generate the uImage.prior to this u have to install the mkimage tool in your system which will convert the zimage into uImage.

Thanks
