But you can try to get your kernel smaller and remove all unneeded drivers in them. The loader loads itself in the first 640Kb in the higher addresses and then loads the kernel into the lower addresses. If the kernel gets to big, it will reach up into the loader addresses. -- ATS ( ats@first.gmd.de or ats@cs.tu-berlin.de ) Andreas Schulz GMD-FIRST O-1199 Berlin-Adlershof Rudower Chaussee 5 Gebaeude 13.7 Tel: +49-30-6392-1856 Germany/Europe
