Hi all, I am trying to compile linux kernel first time. The kernel souce version is 2.6.16. After issuing the command make zImage, I got the following error: SYSMAP System.map SYSMAP .tmp_System.map AS arch/i386/boot/bootsect.o LD arch/i386/boot/bootsect AS arch/i386/boot/setup.o LD arch/i386/boot/setup AS arch/i386/boot/compressed/head.o CC arch/i386/boot/compressed/misc.o OBJCOPY arch/i386/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin GZIP arch/i386/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.gz LD arch/i386/boot/compressed/piggy.o LD arch/i386/boot/compressed/vmlinux OBJCOPY arch/i386/boot/vmlinux.bin HOSTCC arch/i386/boot/tools/build BUILD arch/i386/boot/zImage Root device is (3, 3) Boot sector 512 bytes. Setup is 7247 bytes. System is 1086 kB System is too big. Try using bzImage or modules. make[1]: *** [arch/i386/boot/zImage] Error 1 make: *** [zImage] Error 2 Could any one expain me what is this error meant by? I thought their is space problem in hard disk. Whether it is correct or not? If not what is the problem here. Thanks Manjunath Naik -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
