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.
The error itself told you that you need to use make bzImage instead zImage as kernel image size is becoming huge using zImage, so use bzImage to reduce it.
