* Agustina Buccella :

While I am compiling a new kernel using the make zlilo command, I get the follow message:

Tools/build bootsect sect compressed/vmlinux.out CURRENT > zImage Root device is (3,3) Boot sector 512 bytes setup is 2307 bytes System is 615 Kb System is too big. Try using bzImage or modules make[1]: *** [zImage]Error 1 make: *** [zlilo] Error 2

Any Idea?

Try using bzImage or modules ;-) To elaborate, 'make bzImage' uses a better compression algorithm, so it will decrease the size of your kernel. Using modules can greatly reduce the size of your kernel because it will put parts of it in seperate modules which are added in when needed. Don't make essential parts of the system modules or else you might get kernel panic though! As to why 615k is too big, someone else will have to answer. I haven't encountered this problem, so have never looked into it. david. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Hi,

The boot filesystem, using the df command has this capacity:

Available: 3346 53%

Any Idea?

Any Solution:?

You seem to have configured a lot of stuff to be build into the kernel instead of into modules. Modularize them or compile the kernel with 'make bzlilo'.
