That never happened before



I finally recompiled my RH 6.0 kernel.  It seemed to go fine.
<TANGENT> Oh, BTW, it had support for Compaq SMART-2 SCSI Array
controllers - Woo Hoo!</TANGENT>  Anyway, when I ran /sbin/lilo it
bombed out and said my kernel was too big.  My kernel was smaller.  I
must be missing something simple.  What's the deal?!

Here's my /etc/lilo.conf

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50

image=/boot/vmlinuz
	label=linux
	root=/dev/hda1
	read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
	label=linux-old
	root=/dev/hda1
	read-only
other=/dev/hda3
	label=cpq
	table=/dev/hda

And here's the annoying message I get.


Kernel /boot/vmlinuz is too big.
