vmlinux vs vmlinuz (ubuntu)
Alright, so I am pretty new Linux. I've recently begun porting some archaicly old code, bringing it up to date, and attempting to optimize it for speed. The current box we are using is set up with ubuntu straight from the CD. I was able to use the synaptic package manager to get a newer kernel, and that worked great (2.6 686)... I was further able to get oprofile downloaded and working..
The problem is, to profile the kernel, I need the vmlinux, not the vmlinuz file. Is there an easy way to get this file.. or am I recompiling my kernel? Is that going to be a massive undertaking, or should it be pretty straightforward since I don't actually need to change anything?

vmlinuz is just the gzipped vmlinux ... so you should be able to just gunzip it.
