Your kernel size is too big. Either use "make bzImage" or modularize more
parts of the kernel.

Hm. I've had people ask me before, and I suspect it is a fairly common
case that a newbie gets this message and has no idea what to do. Is
there any way to add a check for the 'System is too big' error, and
print out a message about what to do?
IE "The kernel size is too big for a zImage. Move some functions to
modules, or use 'make bzimage' instead."
