Hello. I just upgraded my system to Red Hat 6.1 and tried to compile a
custom kernel. I followed all the steps on the Red Hat web site up to
the make boot command. That seemed to be working well, but after several
minutes of compiling, I received the following error message:
objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S compressed/vmlinux
compressed/vmlinux.out
tools/build bootsect setup compressed/vmlinux.out CURRENT > zImage
Root device is (8, 1)
Boot sector 512 bytes.
Setup is 3424 bytes.
System is 527 kB
System is too big. Try using bzImage or modules.
make[1]: *** [zImage] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.12/arch/i386/boot'
make: *** [boot] Error 2
I know for certain that I chose to build a modular kernel. I was also
very picky about the features and modules that I chose to build, only
selecting those that were appropriate for my hardware. I've never used
bzImage. How would one go about that? Or better yet, how can I build a
modular kernel that isn't too big (when I thought that I was in fact
trimming the fat from my kernel) and avoid bzImage if I can?
Thanks in advance.
Jim
