Hi all,
For the last couple of days, I have been trying to set
up linux kernel under 8MB. So far I have set up a linux 2.4.31, which
just works under 8MB. However, I would be grateful if someone could
help with the following queries
a) Is linux2.4 just the right option? What about linux 2.0.x?
Or for that matter even <2.0
b) What are the specific issues that are to be considered
while compiling an old kernel on a newer setup? I ask this because I
compiled my current setup on a 2.6.11 machine and while doing "make
modules_install", I got errors from depmod[%], complaining about
depmod.old. I had to kludge my way through by setting up a link from
depmod.old to depmod.
Last year, at the Realtime linux workshop, there was a paper about
running Linux on a machine with 2Mb of RAM + 2Mb of Flash. They even
manage to boot in 1 second! Nevertheless, they had to do several
modifications to achieve this. Maybe with the new options in the 2.6
kernel, it would be easier...
