Still haven't gotten past this error when trying to compile 2.4.3. If the compilation makes an error on the last line, I would expect the kernel didn't get compiled right? What dir should the bzImage be in? Anhow this was my last error message after the attempted compilation:

--end-group \
-o vmlinux
net/network.o(.data+0x2fa4): undefined reference to 'sysctl_ipx_pprop_broadcasting'
make: *** (vmlinux) Error 1 :mad:

Ummm, yeah, you're right.

Most likely you misconfigured some network related stuff during make [menu|x]config.
Did you make sure that you updated all the software listed in ./Documentation/Changes before compiling?
Sometimes it happens that a certain kernel version with a certain configuration on a certain computer just doesn't compile. In this case you can only try another kernel version.

The bzImage goes to ./arch/i386/boot/bzImage (in case you have a i386 platfrom). But it's certainly worthless to try the file if your compilation bumps out with an error.
