| |
I've tried to recompile my kernel for a couple of days now. I use the following commands from the /usr/src/linuxelf-1.2.13 directory.
make mrproper make config make dep make clean make (at this point I have used zlilo, zImage, and vmlinux)
each time I try these commands, the kernel does compile into a file named vmlinux in the current directory, with rwxr-xr-x rights on it. When I try to rerun lilo using this file as a kernel image it tells me "kernel /vmlinux too large" I need help with the make config so I can make it small enough to compile.
My current working kernel is /vmlinuz v1.2.13 and is 455802 bytes. It is compressed, and I would like to know how to create another compressed image out of a newly compile image.
The machine is a 486SX-25 w/ 8MB RAM, and a 16MB swap file. My linux partition is /dev/hdb1, and swap /dev/hdb2. LILO works fine at this time, and i'll attach my lilo.conf files to this e-mail
Thanks in advance.
