Kernelfiles _must_ be smaller than 2,6 MB because the Kernel Loader alocate only 2,6MB on booting. You can fix that by setup more Things running as Modules or disable unneeded Functions. (like ISDN,HAM,NTFS-Filesystems....) There is no need to gzip the Kernel, this is a Feature needed only in DOS-Engines to break the restrictions on 640K-Basemem-Limit. Gzipping only slowdown's the boot speed.   Best Regards Rolf -- [EOF] -----Original Message----- From: Gilberto Senatore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 8:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [suse-sparc] Error Compiling kernel 2.4.14 on my SUN Recently I have installed Suse 7.3 into my SUN: that's all rigth!!!
