The size of vmlinuz isn't the issue...it's the uncompressed size. Doesn't make a difference if it's compressed or not. So just do "zcat vmlinuz > vmlinux" and you can see the size. > And lastly - I'm using make-kpkg to create a custom kernel package for > this. How can I have it use the vmlinux image instead of vmlinuz? Latest kernel-package in unstable will use the correct file. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ WatchGuard - http://www.watchguard.com/
