And the bulk of these ~16MB stock kernels is the initrd, correct? Wow those are huge. I'm so glad I roll my own, from kernel.org source, and forgo the "kitchen sink" initrd setups of the stock kernels. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.5M Jul 9 09:29 vmlinuz-2.6.34.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 490K Jul 9 09:29 System.map-2.6.34.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29K Jul 9 09:29 config-2.6.34.1 At my pace of kernel file growth, I won't hit the lilo 22.8 16MB limit for a few decades. :) Correct me if I'm wrong Stephen, but isn't this 16MB ceiling more of a block device controller BIOS limitation than a lilo limitation? -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
