sounds like a 2.4.x kernel. I was amazed how huge the 2.4.x kernel
got. my biggest 2.2.x kernel I think is about 800kb. I built
a similarly configured 2.4.20 kernel a few days ago(first successful
2.4.x run for me), and its 1.1MB! damn.

but my system(ibm thinkpad t20) has no trouble booting the 1.1MB
bzimage..
