I tried to rebuild the kernel with the 5.3 distribution with smp turned on.
I got a compile error in ide-tape.c. Didn't need it, so I removed it from the configuration.
Built again, and this time I got the error "System is too big".
I have 2GB free on disk so i'm not running out of space.
Ideas?
Smp is for parallel processing, so you don't need it, unless you have a dual processor motherboard. The system too big is that the size of the kernel is greater than 500 - 540k (I really don't remember the limit) when you "make menuconfig" select only the hardware you are using or plan to use, and in not critical hardware, compile with modules. And last, do "make bzImage" insted of "make zImage". This will compress the kernel with a higher rate.
