Subject: Decompression error with silo and new kernel
Date: Wed, 20 May 1998 12:03:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ultrasparc-90222356531054@msgid-missing> (raw)
After having installed the latest ultrapenguin release I wanted to
compile a new kernel. I couldn't find any (ultra)sparclinux specific
docs about this, so I used my Intel/PMac knowledge about Linux. I did
the following
- make kernel as usual
- copy and gzip the resulting vmlinux file (tiens, it is not located somewhere
deep down in the arch hierarchy this time) to /boot
- edit /etc/silo.conf to add a new target
- reboot
I get the error "Decompression error: uncompressed image too large -
wouldn't fit into destination"
/etc/silo.conf
timeoutP
partition=3
root=/dev/sda1
image=/boot/vmlinux-2.1.102
label=linux102
root=/dev/sda1
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinux-2.1.99.gz
label=linux
root=/dev/sda1
read-only
# ls -l /boot/vml*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 987827 May 20 08:31 /boot/vmlinux-2.1.102.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 938796 May 2 20:56 /boot/vmlinux-2.1.99.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 966315 May 2 21:20 /boot/vmlinux-smp-2.1.99.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Feb 19 19:53 /boot/vmlinux.gz -> vmlinux-2.1.99.gz
Uncompressing the kernel by hand doesn't solve the problem : "Image too large
to fit in destination"
Kris,
