I�m running Linux Mdk 6.1 on a Pentium 166 MMX with 128 Mb of RAM and a IDE
HD of 3,2 Gb for linux (another 2Gb IDE disk contains a DOS partition).
I�ve recompiled Linux kernel several times with other distributions. After
recompiling it with modules support in my Mandrake system (I�ve tried both
"make zImage" and "make bzImage"), I get a kernel a bit smaller than the
one installed by default (480k more or less) which is normal, but when I
try to update the MBR with lilo (at the prompt or via Klilo), it "usually"
gives me the following message: "kernel is too big" and I cannot update the
boot list (which by now contains two options: old linux kernel and dos).
I said "usually" becuase once lilo could update the boot list, but when i
choosed the new kernel to boot (at the beginnig of the boot sequence, i.e.
lilo prompt), the system rebooted again (and again if i had choosed the
same option).
Does anybody has had the same problem? Any idea about the reason why lilo
doesn�t work?
