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

And here's the annoying message I get.
Kernel /boot/vmlinuz is too big.
