Hello all.<br>
I recently installed RH5.1 (kernel 2.0.34) on my P166. I have a removable E-IDE harddrive system, and I have a separate harddrive for each OS that I run (currently, I run NT 4.0, Slackware 3.4 and Red Hat 5.1). I have had Slackware (3.4, kernel 2.0.33) running on this same machine for a couple of years.<br>
When I tried to compile my first kernel under RH, it got all the way through, but then bombed at the end. <br>
I have given the command "make zImage", but the error message said that the kernel was too big.<br>
I don't understand this, as I normally make a monolithic kernel, and only have the bare essentials turned on, like PPP, sound, ISDN and not much else.<br>
A normal Slackware kernel will come out to about 420k (I have 96mg RAM and a 127mb swap partition on that harddrive, and a similar setup on the RH harddrive), and runs without a hitch.<br>
I'm pretty sure there is a simple solution to this, but a search of the HOW-TO's, FAQ's and Dejanews didn't turn up anything helpful.<br>
I would prefer not to use modules, but I will if that is the only way to get this kernel to compile.<br>
<br>
TIA <br>
