Are you sure the kernel wouldn't run?  It's common to receive a
warning that the kernel may be too large, but I believe that warning applies
to older systems or floppy boot disks.  The kernel is the file
/arch/i386/boot/bzImage.  That's assuming your building for a i386 platform.
On my machine, my current 2.4.17 kernel is about 1.1 megs.

Greeting:

I need to rebuild a kernel on a remote machine.  I'm proficient enough
at the build steps but in the past I got the lernel too big and it
wouldn't run.

How can I tell what "size" the kernel is before I reboot with it to
know it will not be too large?

Thanks,
Scott
