I have recently downloaded the Redhat SMP kernel pacakages (rpm) and xfs
tools from oss.sgi.com. The packages installed without error. I created a
ramdisk image from the new kernel and updated lilo with the following
lines:
image=/boot/vmlinux-2.4.2-SGI_XFS_1.0smp
label=xfs
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.2-SGI_XFS_1.0smp.img
read-only
root=/dev/sda8
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
When I run lilo, I get the following output:
[root@generic /boot]# lilo -t
Added linux *
Added linux-up
Fatal: Kernel /boot/vmlinux-2.4.2-SGI_XFS_1.0smp is too big
So far, I have not been able to work around this problem.
The system is a dual P4 Xeon with 2GB RAM and 18GB ultra-3 scsi disk.
Currently it is running Redhat 7.1 with the stock smp kernel.
Any assistance with this will be appreciated.
