Hi all,
I have a weird problem with lilo. I just recently installed Mandrake 6.1.
The install went smooth. No problems. After finishing the installation,
I decided to build a custom kernel, since the one that comes with Mandrake
supports a lot of things I don't need and consequently is fairly big at
570kB. So I built custom kernel which is about 425kB. I modified
/etc/lilo.conf copied the new kernel and System.map into /boot and ran
lilo. Lilo failed. The error message said something to the extend that
my custom kernel was too big. Lilo does not complain about the original
Mandrake kernel being too big! Which makes???? Has anyone else
encountered this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Stefan
P.S. The partition that holds the kernels is entirely within the first
1024 cylinders of my hard drive.
