Package: kernel-package Version: 11.015 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
I have had the system up for about two weeks now. When I build a custom kernel I follow the procedures in the README file. My intention is to build a kernel that is smaller that the default kernel. I am able to "make xconfig" with no problem. I then build the kernel package and no errors appear (make-kpkg clean; sudo make-kpkg --append-to-version xx --revision xx kernel-image; sudo dpkg -i xxxx) ...all with no errors. I then reboot the machine and see the following error message (I show lines before the error just for context) Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF... done Booting the Kernel. Aperture beyond 4 GB. Ignoring.
