    Hi,

    I am trying to build a linux kernel which had a ramdisk embedded into
    the kernel image. The ramdisk is rather huge and hence i am getting the
    following error while building the kernel(bzImage):

    System is too big. Try using modules.

    1. Why is there a size limitation on bzImage ?
    2. Is there any way i can fix this size problem ( i can not remove the
    ramdisk) ?

    Thanks in Advance.

    Amit.
