I added some features on Linux 2.0.32. When I modified just a couple of lines and rebuild kernel, I was able to reboot and run new kernel.

So, I put a couple of functions in the source files and rebuild it. The kernel size got a bit bigger than last one. (kernel size: original: 446281, a few chage: 446289, more change: 446664)

It crashed when it is rebooted and attemps to uncompress the new kernel giving message "ran out of input data...".

So, I guess the kernel size does matter. How can I make this bigger new kernel run ?

Any parameter to change ?

Thanks in advance
