description: 
I am using the 2.4.22-21mdk-i686-up-4GB kernel. When I try to create a boot 
floppy from mcc, it gives an error about "No space left on device" after trying 
to copy all relevant files for more than a minute. 
 
So I tried the command-line option: 
 
"/bin/bash /sbin/mkbootdisk --noprompt --verbose --device /dev/fd0 
2.4.22-21mdk-i686-up-4GB" 
 
and got this message: 
 
Formatting /dev/fd0... mount: /dev/fd0 already mounted or 
/tmp/syslinux.mnt.12719.0 busy 
done. 
Copying /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-21mdk-i686-up-4GB... done. 
Creating initrd image... cp: writing `/tmp/mkbootdisk/initrd.img': No space 
left on device 
Error ! 
 
I omitted the raid and scsi modules and still it ran out of space. Is there any 
way to create a boot floppy with this kernel version ?
