    I added some features on Linux 2.0.32. When I modified just a couple of lines and rebuilt kernel, I was able to reboot and run new kernel.

    So, I put a couple of functions in the source files and rebuilt it. The kernel size got a bit bigger than last one. (kernel size: original:446281, a few chage: 446289, more change: 446664)

    It crashed when it was rebooted and attemped to uncompress the new kernel giving message "ran out of input data...".

    So, I guess the kernel size does matter. How can I make this bigger new kernel run ?

    Any parameter to change ?

    Thanks in advance
