Kernel Build problem
I'm trying to build a new kernel for my system. I've downloaded the sources for both 2.4.10 and 2.4.12.
I do the following: make config make dep make make boot At this point I always get an error in zImage stating the statistics of the sizes, then it says; System is 566 kB System is too big. Try using bzImage or modules. {zImage} error. It doesn't matter how big the kernel is or which kernel I'm using. Can anyone help? thanks, bataii |
use bzImage instead of zImage. it compresses the kernel into a smaller file.

Thanks
Thanks for the help. I have another question then:
Once I get the bzImage, do I just copy that to /boot and rename it vmlinuz for Lilo? or is there something else I have to do? bataii |
it's easiest to copy it to /boot and rename it, but be sure to save the old kernel as vmlinuz.old or something like that.
|
here's the steps i use:
make xconfig make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install make bzlilo bzlilo will backup the current kernel,install the new, and run lilo(saves a lot of typing) |
Again, thanks.
Thanks, I'll try both just to make sure everything is fine.
