Hi, everybody!
I am trying to include a Sound Blaster driver to the kernel.
In order to do that, I inserted 2 SB related lines from /sys/i386/conf/LINT
into the copy of GENERICAH, then run config <name>,make depend, make in the
appropriate directiry, copied the new kernel say boris to / and rebooted the
machine.
At time of reboot at the prompt I gave the name of alt. kernel,
and the system respone is:
"The kernel is too big, the only hope is to link ......"
The size of the new kernel is little bit bigger then GENERICAH
- is about 590000 K, is it so critical?
The question: What's wrong I am doing?
Thanks in advance!
Boris Pitel
