[SATLUG] Stupid Question o' The Day...

[Crandall, Sean]

I'm not the kind of expert some people on this list are, but I had this problem once, and (IIRC) I found out that it didn't work to just manually copy the kernel image to the /boot partition or whatever.  I think that "make install" on the Linux kernel uses a utility called "installkernel" or something like that, and if you use that, it sets things up correctly.  CAVEAT: This could be distro-specific or something too.  Like I said, I'm not exactly a hardened sys admin.

Exactly how big a kernel image can lilo handle? I tried compiling 2.5.29,
but now matter what I do (including compiling EVERYTHING possible as
modules,) lilo reports that the image is too big. What gives?
