 |

Hi,
everytime i try to compile a kernel (genkernel or manual, no difference), i get this error message:
| Quote: |
*** End of Linux kernel configuration.
*** Execute 'make' to build the kernel or try 'make help'.
* >> Installing gensplash [ using the emergence theme ]...
gunzip: /usr/src/linux/usr/initramfs_data.cpio already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)? y

System is too big. Try using modules.

Seems to be easy, but i built already an hardly small "mini-kernel" with as much modules as possible, but this error message still remains the same.
Strange thing which happend from one day to another .. what am I doing wrong? |

I don't know what your error means, but maybe you could
to restore the kernel tree to a fully clean state and try again. Be sure to backup your .config file though, as it will get removed to.

Hey, I am having the exact same problem on AMD64..
bzImage is to big! I tried scaling it down by just building in what needed to be using --menuconfig but no go...

Well, there is an issue here... I'll try building it by hand and see if the problem is in genkernel..

With manual compile it doesn't work, either 
Seems to be a big issue ... mrproper doesn't work, too |

Ok,
I got it running, my friend had a basic install CD dated 04/14 I booted with it and the kernel built fine....
I checked my iso image md5 sum and all was well, so I mounted the disk on my other system and (after a bit of figuring out how) I got an md5 and all was well....
The disk in question is a universal install disk that I got from OSDL. I would file a bug report but I am not sure what is wrong quite yet. I will do a little more research and then see what I come up with.
For the meanwhile I recommend downloading and using the basic install disk to build your kernel with... cheers

| I recieved this exact error when compiling a kernel with genkernel on an AMD64. I narrowed it down to a splashutils error, but have no fix for it. |
