Does anyone know what to include/not include in the kernel for a sunfire 100 blade?
My first compile the kernel was 3.9 mb uncompressed and it takes over a hour to compile the kernel.
I moved some stuff like ext3 to modules and am recompiling now, so hopfully it will be under 3.6mb.

Thanks,

Tony

Hey Tony,

The kernel on ultrasparc needs to be 3.5MB or less. If your kernel is too big, sometimes striping it can help

Code:
strip vmlinux
