bzimage question

Recommended Posts

I have noticed that the crc (as reported in winzip) for bzimage is always ffffffff regardless of unRaid version.  The file appears to contain binary data and a few text strings.  Anyone know why?

That file is your Kernel.  And it's CRC is like that by design.  Since Kernel 2.6.26, when bzImage is created, the CRC-32 is calculated over the entire file, and the checksum is appended to the file, so that the CRC of the resulting file is always 0.
