Hi
To reduce the kernel size after recompiling use "make bzImage " instead
of "make zImage". Then lilo shouldn't give any problems.

Subject: Re: [LI] Running recompiled kernels
Hi,
I am back. After running uname -a at the prompt (Thanks to the
genius who recommended it), I found that Linux was still running
my old kernel. Checking with the book, I realised that I had
forgotten to run LILO after recompiling. Tsk tsk.
However on running LILO, I got a message saying that my kernel
was too large. I had only changed some options, in fact removed
support for a lot of devices and changed support from kernel to
module level. I did not add anything extra. Also my vmlinuz file was
much smaller than the previous vmlinuz file.
Now what do I do? Please do remember that the changes have to
take place in the boot disk because that is what I use to boot into
Linux.
Bye,
Arun.
