That is interesting. You're probably making bzImages, meaning your kernel is a compressed image. See if you can uncompress them both and then compare their sizes.
Failing that, you'd have to compare your .configs if you're really interested in tracking down the cause of this :) Cheers Fred On Mon, 18 Oct 2004 13:46:41 -0300, Fede <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello everyone.
