a friend used the red hat embedded dev kit 1.0 to create a new
kernel and a root filesystem. the root filesystem was placed in a
small (40M) partition on /dev/hdb, and we're now trying to run lilo
to register the new kernel.
this kernel is a "zImage" (created by the dev kit), only 461K, so
not overly large. but every attempt to run lilo generates the error
message "Kernel too big."
on the other hand, i dd'ed the kernel to a floppy, used "rdev"
to set its root filesystem to /dev/hdb1, and it has no problem starting to boot the
kernel off of floppy.
so the kernel seems fine. in that case, what precisely causes
the "kernel too big" error?
