2.4.1 Kernel too big error

22 Feb 2001

      I used make menuconfig ( took most of the defaults)
make dep
make clean
make bzimage
make modules 
make modules install
make bzililo and it stops with an error "kernel too big"

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root      2607302 Feb 21 20:25 vmlinux

What is the limit for kernel sze or is there a different problem that is giving
me this error? I m currenlty using  (SuSE 7.0 ) Downloaded kernel source from
ftp.kernel.org

thanks inadvance,

joe
