I thought that was what mattered, but is it fixable? 3MB is not enough for
everybody. I'd say it's hardly enough for anybody actually.

Is it SILO or the kernel that needs to be fixed? Is it like the zImage/bzImage
issue of where in memory the kernel is placed, and if so, can it be made to
load elsewhere?

I've had this problem with 2.4.x and with 2.5.x/2.6.x, and all I can find on
the issue is "make it smaller". It's not a fix.

I'd be willing to dive in and try to fix it if I got some pointers. I don't
know if I would succeed, but I'd try.
