yeah, you really wnat to compress the vmlinux to a vmlinuz...you can do this by issuing the command gzip -c vmlinux > vmlinuz otherwise, the image will probably be too big and silo won't be able to load it into memory. silo is *very* picky about how big the kernel image is. in fact, trying to compile frame pointers, xfs, or many drivers into the kernel (not as modules) will push it over the maximum size. I really wish this would be fixed... -tduffy
