I am trying to compile a 2.4.19 for a ss20 and I am running into a
couple problems. More than anything else "make bzImage" does not
appear to work. It spits out 2 lines and does not want to do anything
more. It will compile "make vmlinux" just fine though. Is there some
preequiste that I need for for the one that the other does not need?
As I understand it, bzImage is not supposed to work.
The first kernel I compiled was 3.6 megs, so I made one that made use
of modules and it is just under 2.6 megs, but silo is telling me that
it is still to large.
I have read several *fine* guides to kernel recompiles, incuding one
for sparc, and I have not the faintest what is this things deal. Right
now it is basicly a vanilly woody install with the only the developers
packages insalled.
I think the size limit is around 2.5Megs... but it should be possible to
get even lower than that will little effort (just compile everything as
a module).
