 |
|
I compiled my kernel 2.4.25 on Ultra10 manually, but the size of kernel is too big(/usr/src/linux/vmlinux is about 5M!). So it can not boot up my system.
my kernel parameters were from Install Guide:
http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml
could anybody tell me which parts in kernel can made in moudles?

Later versions of SILO get round this - (Can't remember which I'm afraid - I'm not at the system at the mo).
Also, in your kernel compilation, try
make image
That will strip it so it might then be small enough. |

Silo-1.4.4 was stabilized over the weekend, which allows for larger sized kernels in the more recent kernel releases. I believe 2.4.25 has this support.
Let us know how it goes. |

I tried to install silo-1.4.4, but failed. How can I do?
| Code: | livecd root# emerge --pretend silo
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild N ] sys-boot/silo-1.3.1-r1
livecd root# emerge --pretend ">silo-1.4"
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">silo-1.4" have been masked.
!!! possible candidates are:
- sys-boot/silo-1.4.4 (masked by: ~keyword)
!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.

| Try syncing your portage tree via the emerge sync command first. Then silo-1.4.4 should be available via emerge. |
