Subject: kernel size


Hi,

I have compiled a kernel on a machine with a partition size of 20GB and am running it there.

I ftp'd this kernel to another machine with similar partition size of 20GB but when I run lilo there I get a message "Fatal: Size too Big"

Why is that.

Do enlighten me,
Rohit

Guesses: different versions of lilo, and you're getting the failure on
the older version? Maybe it's refering to the size of the kernel as
opposed to the disk partition?
