I'm having a couple of problems making my custom kernel and putting this on a rescue floppy.
1) If I use the compact configure file (I load it using make menuconfig, then go 'make dep' 'make clean' 'make bzImage') I get a 1.9M kernel. I must be doing something wrong. 2) I managed to make a 1.2M kernel which fitted on the floppy disk. However the syslinux loader reports a 'corrupt kernel'. I noticed that when I tried to cp /usr/src/source*2.2.19/vmlinux to /mnt/linux the machine wouldn't let me - I had to rm /mnt/linux and then copy */vmlinux to /mnt/linux. Thanks for any further help.
