Kernel Question

[kc5vxy@juno.com (Kevin J Poorman)]

Hi.

questions, questions ....

How will I know if my kernel is to big for a zImage?

Reason for asking ....

I can't get my kernel to compile at all and when I try to compile useing
"make zImage" I get the following message, about 3 minutes into compile.:

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_ Start Screen Dump _*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*

cpp: output pipe has been closed
gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11
make[3]: *** [n_tty.o] Error 1

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_* End Screen Dump _*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*

now when I just hit up-arrow and then enter aggin it will start over and
skip what it has already compiled and go on for awhile (this amount of
time varrys) but it will always come back and quit with this same error.

However when it gets done compileing the *.c files and starts to compile
the *.o files together it errors out with this next error (I am fairly
new to complieing stuff and I am thinking that this is what it is doing
at this point however I am not sure if I am right, about it compileing
the .o files at this point)

this is only a partial screen dump as the whole thing is about 5 screens
long with the same "undefined reference to " error but with different
file names ...

(this is all I was able to GPM into a file ... Sorry.

Random stuff.

Kernel Version 2.0.30

Now my question is this could this be caused by the fact that my kernel
is to big ?

any help on getting my kernel to compile would be appreceated ...


BTW this is the 3rd time I have re-downloaded my kernel package and the
3rd time I havee downloaded Gcc and the second time I have downloaded Cpp
...


Thanks in advance.
