Kernel compile => disk size Error

Kernel compile => disk size Error

[Tom Troonbeeckx]

Good morning all,

Yesterday I tried to compile the kernel 2.4.22 on a redhat 9 server.
Everything went well except with the
make modules_install

The exact error messages sliped out of mine mind, but it said something like
"The kernel is too big too fit on the disk".
I checked the diskspace on /boot and there was at least 50 MB free space.

Any ideas why it gave this error and how to circumvent?

Thanks in advance!
Yours truly

I think this disk is a floppy, so that should not be a problem. But
try to compile some more drivers as module.
