Re: Kernel build error
hi ya craig
did you use "make bzlilo" or sound like you did "make bzImage"
if so... take out stuff from the kernel ...
- turn it off if you dont use it
- PNP, Video for linux, ISDN, Linux Telephone,
- turn off all the graphics controllers you're NOT useing
- SCSI is not needed if you dont use those disks
- turn off RAID ( md, lvm ) if you're not using it
- use sound as a module if you gonna leave it in...
- turn off parallel port support if you dont have any parallel ide devices
- turn off firewire, infared, amateur radio stuff etc
than try again...
have fun
alvin
-- than harden your kernel... apply owl, lids, libsafe, etc
