Hi,

i am trying to compile the 2.2.5 kernel under the redhat6.0 distribution.
after running the make commands i get:

root device = (3,11)
boot device = 512 bytes      <===!!!!
Setup = 3548 bytes
System = 522 bytes
System is too big. Try using bzImage or modules.

i have tried to use as many modules as possible, but i noticed that the boot
device reports a number of bytes instead of a major, minor device number
combo.

i have a separate 16mb partition mounted on /boot. could that be causing the
problem?

thanks.

Like the message says, try using bzImage instead. Or bzlilo

Later,

tried that to no avail.

the problem is solved though. i just configged the kernel to use only
modules (except for the fs stuff for the root partition) and the system went
down to 412 bytes. presto.

thanks for helping, though.
