Hi

I just tried to compile kernels from the 2.2.20pre series for the first
time. 2.2.20pre3 boots ok but pre5-pre9 do not:

Uncompressing Linux...

Out of memory

-- System halted

I'm sorry if I this is well-known: I haven't been following the list very
closely lately. Maybe it has something to do with this:

o Add support for the 2.4 boot extensions to 2.2 (H Peter Anvin)

I tried with gcc-2.7.2.3 + binutils-2.9.1.0.25 and with egcs-1.1.2 +
binutils-2.11.90.0.19. On a 486 with 48 M RAM and lilo 21.7-5 and on a
Pentium MMX with 64 M RAM and lilo 19.
