Hi Arthur
When you make the kernel use ;
make bzImage
(instead of vmlinuz)
Its not a compressed version and may look the same-ish in size, but lilo
will load the kernel differently....
alternatively you may try compiling all your possible options as modules (as
redhat kernel rpm does anyway)
Cheers,
Stephen

Subject: [SLUG] Strange Kernel Compilations
Hey there,
i seem to be having the strangest problems with re-compiling my kernel.
Machine in question is a relatively standard RedHat 6.2 (Zoot) install,
which i have had on other machines without problems.
The actual problem being, whenever i recompile my kernel (RH6.2 standard
2.2.14) or even trying it out with 2.4-test4(/7)(/8) it compiles fine, but
when i add it to lilo i get helpfull messages (on wrong box at the moment so
havent got exact error :-( ) something like:
Kernel size is too large.
Does this mean anything to anyone else?
never encountered this before, the image size is *smaller* than the default
kernel.
Idea's?
Arthur
