If anyone else hveing this problem did what I did, then I have the
solution.  The kernel which was too big for LILO was not compressed.
If you want to boot a kernel which resides on your hard disk, do 'make
zImage' and you will find zImage in ./arch/i386/boot and you can just
copy it to /vmlinuz.  If you want to have the kernel on a floppy,
'make zdisk' and have an already formatted floppy ready.

Now the puzzling thing is that I typed 'make zImage" in the top level
directory, but the only place the "zImage" target is in a Makefile is
down in the subdir.  How the heck can this work.  I WANT TO KNOW!!

thanks,
dion
