Hello all - I have Debian stable installed on an old laptop which (hopefully) will turn into my firewall at home. I'm trying to get kernel 2.4.19 compiled and installed on that box so I can have iptables support...however, when I try and boot to the new kernel, I get this message immeadiately after lilo does it's thing: Loading LinuxEBDA too big At that point, it hangs and must be rebooted. Fortunately, I left the old kernel on the box (and in the lilo menu). I've googled up and down to find the solution to this, and the only thing I've come up with is that EBDA stands for "Linux Extended Data Area". Aside from that info - nada. Any ideas? The only thing that I could think of is that the kernel image was too big, but it's only something like 900kb or so. That shouldn't be too big, should it? Thanks! -Erik _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
