Hi Ed,
for your information, there are two options to test:
1.) use the unzipped kernel (what is better for some not understandable
reason)
2.) do a
strip -R .comment,.note vmlinux
after you've built the kernel, this will reduce size significantly, too.
What would be of big interest for me: do you get messages like
Inspection /boot/System.map-2.4.20-SMP
Loaded 1336 Symbols from /boot/System.map-2.4.20-SMP
Symbols match kernel version 2.4.20
Error reading kernel symbols - Cannot allocate memory
Thank you in advance,
take care
Dieter Jurzitza
