RE: [Plug] Kernel recompile...
|
Vale,
I though (and I am sure other list members will correct me if I am wrong)
512 was the kernel image size limit. I was also under the impression that
swap space was limit 128 MB and anything over that was not used.
After reading that you got the zImage too big use bzImage begs the question
why you did not use bzImage. I have not (in my limited Linux experience
heard of or had problems with bzImage but as usual your mileage may vary.

Subject: [Plug] Kernel recompile...
How big in a average sized kernel??
I am running RH6.0, and trying to do a kernel recompile, to solve another
problem (but that's another email :) ) and I have almost everything either
excluded, or moduled (under menuconfig), and still make zImage tells me it
is
too big, to use bzImage. Finally, I get it down to 479K, after excluding
some
things that were suggested to be included, zImage worked, but trying to run
make
zlilo to install, zlilo says it's too big again...
so how large should a kernel be? I have an absolutely minimal config..
for reference...
96 megs
NCR SCSI W/F
Matrox Millenium
3com Vortex (905? I can;t remember right now)
SB AWE 64
USR 56k
No dos, no dual boot
mount points are (nod to the conversation, I just decided to use them all...
:>
)
/ 1G /sda3
/boot 300M /sda1
/usr 1G /sda4
/swap 200M /sda2
/var 1G /sdb2
/home 2G /sdb1
/tmp 1G /sdb3
/storage2G /sdb4
I don't think all of this information is needed, but...JIC
Peace,
Vale
