    Kernelfiles _must_ be smaller than 2,6 MB because the Kernel Loader alocate
    only 2,6MB on booting.
    You can fix that by setup more Things running as Modules or disable unneeded
    Functions.
    (like ISDN,HAM,NTFS-Filesystems....)
    There is no need to gzip the Kernel, this is a Feature needed only in
    DOS-Engines to break
    the restrictions on 640K-Basemem-Limit. Gzipping only slowdown's the boot
    speed.

    Best Regards
    Rolf

  Subject: [suse-sparc] Error Compiling kernel 2.4.14 on my SUN

      Recently I have installed Suse 7.3 into my SUN: that's all rigth!!!
  Now i have recompiling the kernel 2.4.14 using this command:
    1)make clean
    2)make mrproper
    3)make menuconfig
    4)make dep modules modules_install
    5)make vmlinux
    6)gzip -c9 vmlinux > /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.14
    7)cp System.map /boot/System.map
    8)configuring SILO correctly
    9)silo

      and then i rebooted!!!
  My boot partition is 10MB size.
  When I wrote the new label inserted in silo.conf i read this message:

      "Decompression error: uncompressed image too long - wouldn't fit into
destination"

      After i wrote the old label and the Linux gone!!!!!

      Someone can help me!!!
