Subject: syslinux and 2.4.0 initrd size problems
Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2000 21:16:42 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20001126211642.A2763@vger.timpanogas.org> (raw)
I am having trouble getting a 2.4 vmlinuz (bzImage) and initrd
image onto a 1.44 floppy with all the new stuff. Even a stipped
down kernel compiled under 2.4 is @ 600K compressed, and I need
about 800K for the initrd image. I noticed that syslinux
has some comments about not allowing initrd to span media.
I there something more current that does or will allow me to
load the inittrd off a CD-ROM device (with vmlinuz and syslinux
on the floppy). I know how to do this with GRUB (Grand
Unified Boot Loader), but I want to use syslinux if possible.
Thanks
Jeff
