He isn't getting that far. His kernel is larger than zImage will tolerate. I know people that use bzImage because they have strenuous driver needs, but there is no reason for Joe Linux User on a single user box running a 2.0.x kernel to be as large as he is getting.

Are you using the kernel created in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot? I've never seen one over 500M or so.
Hope that helps. Robb

I used xconfig to make a new kernel, and at the end of 'make zImage' I got 2 errors, basically saying that the kernel (system?) was too big (it is slightly over 1 meg).

I made another kernel and cut even more out. This got it down to about 480K with no error messages. Then I made the mistake of using the kernel source file instead of the zImage as others suggested for the problem, so the advice of the others helped in the end. I'm happy to say that my new kernel with sound support added is working. Now, if I could only figure out how to get my Soundblaster AWE32 PnP to work (without resorting to the OSS driver, which doesn't work with RealAudio) I'd be even happier.
