Hi Ken, The problem is that the kernel is way too big and the computer is a bit outdated. I've had a similar problem with SuSE 6.3 and kernel 2.2.13 on a Iwill motherboard. I stripped down the kernel to the very basics but had to have scsi disk support. With resident scsi kernel never get booted. The only way out was to make scsi module and use initrd. Then it worked.

Okay, I know that the folks a SuSE discourage this, but I compiled a new kernel on my SuSE 7.0 firewall. I mainly wanted to strip out the unecessary stuff and reduce the size. The kernel is 2.2.16 and seemed to compile fine without errors. Problem is that when I boot the new kernel I get:
Out of memory
System halted
I've tried this twice with the same result. I've compile kernels on SuSE machines dozens and dozens of times without a hitch. Has anyone experienced similar problems, or have any hints as to something I may have missed? I can post my .config if that will help. TIA.
