Subject: 2.4.2-ac


Hi,
I have patched 2.4.2 with patch-2.4.2-ac9. At make xconfig turned
all kernel hacking options on. Then make dep and make bzImage went on ok.
But when I put the image path in lilo.conf and ran /sbin/lilo it said
kernel /abc/pqr/..../vmlinux is too big.

Whats going wrong. My gcc is egcs-2.91.66. The running kernel is
2.2.14-5.0.

thanks
sourav

The image path should go to /wherever/bzImage not /wherever/vmlinux![1]

I assume this is what is wrong.

Regards,

Anton

[1] FYI: it is found in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage on ia32
architecture assuming your kernel is in /usr/src/linux.
