Subjectkernel build (compression) problem
When I tried to build an smp kernel for RH6.0 (2.2.5-15 kernel) Intel, I
got the following error report. This occurs whether it was my kernel (with
a lot of un-needed stuff removed) or the default kernel distributed.
-----
objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S compressed/vmlinux
compressed/vmlinux.
out
tools/build bootsect setup compressed/vmlinux.out CURRENT > zImage
Root device is (3, 5)
Boot sector 512 bytes.
Setup is 3548 bytes.
System is 651 kB
System is too big. Try using bzImage or modules.
make[1]: *** [zImage] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.5/arch/i386/boot'
make: *** [boot] Error 2
---------
The compile and link succeeded but it failed to compress. I had many fewer
components and modules in my kernel (than in the CD-ROM shipped default),
but neither mine nor the default would compress. Anyone know what might be
wrong here? When it says, "use bzImage", what is meant?
thanks,
