I'm trying to upgrade my linux box from 2.0.27 to 2.0.29 ( the reason
why I insit 2.0.29 is to set up ATM interface..) ..

I could comlet linux kernel compile by 'make zImage' (tried 'make
zbImage') .. but to install just-compiled kernel.. the error message
"/boot/vmlinuz is too big" hit me..but the file size of vmlinuz was only
847k byte.. I think it is small enough ..
BTW. vmlinuz under 500k byte can be installed and work properly..

I'm very curious if there's limited linux kernel(vmlinuz) size..?? If
does, how can I overcome the limit..??

Thank you in advance..
