kernel image too large ?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi...

I am in the middle of building a new kernel (2.4.20) and this is my
first attempt. I have got as far as configuring it with 'make xconfig' ,
followed by 'make dep', 'make clean' and 'make bzImage'.

So far so good, but I did get these messages after the the kernel image
was created :

......

Root device is (3,3)
Boot sector is 512 bytes
Setup is 4667 bytes
System is 1028 Kb
warning : kernel is too big for standalone boot from floppy.
.......

What does that signify ? Have I chosen too many modules and options during
the config process ? Is that kernel image alarmingly huge and do I need to
redo the whole thing ? Or can I proceed with the install ?

Thanks for your time,

Ashish Samant.
