Hi all,

 I am trying to compile linux kernel first time. The kernel souce
version is 2.6.16. After issuing the command

make zImage,

I got the following error:

  SYSMAP  System.map
  SYSMAP  .tmp_System.map

  BUILD   arch/i386/boot/zImage
Root device is (3, 3)
Boot sector 512 bytes.
Setup is 7247 bytes.
System is 1086 kB
System is too big. Try using bzImage or modules.
make[1]: *** [arch/i386/boot/zImage] Error 1
make: *** [zImage] Error 2

Could any one expain me what is this error meant by? I thought their
is space problem in hard disk. Whether it is correct or not? If not
what is the problem here.

The error itself told you that you need to use make bzImage instead
zImage as kernel image  size is becoming huge using zImage, so use
bzImage to reduce it.



Thanks
