I guess we are doing a who's got the biggest kernel. So here is mine:

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1535443 May  7 13:10 bzImage-2.4.18

Obviously, its over 1 meg.

On my Mac, I have a 4+ meg kernel:

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      4656348 June 29 1:10 vmlinuz-2.4.18-benh

Now mind you this is a monolithic kernel, meaning everything is compiled
in. Most distros for Macs have a monolithic kernel. Both systems have lilo
22.2 so I don't see why its not letting you lilo a 1+ meg kernel.
