A few days ago, I realized that the kernel on my work machine was compiled
SMP. It was running fine, but I thought I'd get a little speed advantage
by recompiling non-SMP (I *always* forget to comment that out).
Lo and behold, the new kernel won't boot. It says, and I quote:
...
Calibrating delay loop... 396.49 BogoMIPS
Memory: 0k/0k available (0k kernel code, 0k reserved, 0k data, 0k init)
Then it hangs. Looks like you nailed the kernel bloat problem square on
the head, though... ;)
I'm pretty sure I didn't change anything in the kernel besides SMP, but
I'll recompile as SMP to be sure that works.
If this sparks your curiosity and you want more info (like my .config),
let me know. Please CC to ebuddington@wesleyan.edu to ensure that I see
it, as I normally just skim the digest.
