It compiles fine, no errors, but the
image is larger, and SILO complains that the
image is too large (uncompressed image too
large for space). I’ve seen hints from other
users on this list to use bzImage to compress
the file, but to me that looks like an x86 tool
only because it is not in the sparc64 directory
space…
Hopefully someone out there can help me get
passed this kernel build problem… I would be
tickled to learn –any- way to get past it.
As I understand it, compressing the image won't help at all since its
the uncompressed image it needs to work with.
You just need to include as little as possible in your kernel and as
much as possible as modules to get it below the size limit. 2.4 kernels
do tend to be a little bulky, you may well have to make do with a 2.2
kernel...
