Multiple copies of kernel

Hi managers -

Can someone explain to me why, when I build a new kernel using

# doconfig -c MACHINE_NAME

I get the following files (along with vmunix) in /sys/MACHINE_NAME:

-rwxr-xr-x 2 root system 7521136 Feb 20 19:13 vmunix.MACHINE_NAME
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root system 7521136 Feb 20 19:13 vmunix.sys

They're the same size as vmunix; I assume they're the same files. Why are
they there ?

Just curious.


 John.
