I checked the archives, but didn't find much on this. I've recompiled my kernel (using bzImage) to provide sound support, and now I'm getting a "vmlinuz is too big" message when I try to run lilo. My old kernel was 715260, and my new one is 749612. I've gone through "make config" and recompiled at least four times tonight, removing everything I thought I could live without, and I've changed everything to modules that could be changed to modules. Am I doing something wrong? Or have I really run into a size limitation? If the latter, does this not spell trouble for Linux, in that an average person with an average machine on an average LAN doing average things can't get all his average stuff into a kernel?
Any suggestions would be welcome.
