you mean when did Werner Almesberger add the check and a printf of the
warning you see below? I can't remember the date exactly but I remember it
very clearly (i.e. everything except the date :)
Basically, I badly needed to be able to build kernels of arbitrary size
and I asked someone who I was sure would know (Werner) how to fix it --
and I was right -- he did know and he fixed it so now one could build very
large kernels and have them booted via LILO. But, the old plain bootsect.S
was still left as is, i.e. unable to boot very large kernels (for exact
size limits see the source, arch/i386/boot/tools/build.c) and so it was
only natural that one should printf a warning.
So, in short, such kernels are okay to boot with LILO (and most other
bootloaders) but not if you just dd if=bzImage of=/dev/fd0, i.e. not by
bootsect.S
If you want the date... it was approximately the beginning of 2000, I
think.

Tigran

not just "to build", but "to boot", of course :)
Also, while we are in a history lesson, I might as well add that this was
precisely the time when he (Werner) replaced the monstrously hardcoded
initial page table with the one generated "automagically" -- hence the
source file size went down dramatically...
