| alt.os.linux left this unanswered. Maybe you all have some insight...
when recompiling my kernel, lilo gives me an error message of EBDA (Extended Bios Date Area) too big when it's trying to load the new kernel. How do I fix this. I have LILO 22.2 - would upgrading to 22.3.2 solve this?
I have never even heard of the EBDA before. | |

| Sounds like you are hitting against the 1024-memory limit. Some computers have a EBDA larger than 1K. That is most likely your problem. The command line passed to the kernel was truncated at 78 characters if the LARGE_EBDA (Extended BIOS Data Area) compile-time option was used. You may want to deselect this option as a compile time option. | |

| Is large_EDBA a kernel option or a lilo compile time option? | |

| Should be a kernel option. |
