Description of problem:
I have installed kernel-smp-2.2.19-6.2.10smp.i686 on my dual PIII.  
My lilo config looks like this

image=/boot/vmlinux-2.2.19-6.2.10smp
        label=linux
        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.19-6.2.10smp.img
        read-only
        root=/dev/rd/c0d0p1
        append="mem=512M"

initrd consists of the DAC960 module but doesnt seem to change the result
if I comment it out.

This is what I get when I try to install

[root@limbo ~]# lilo
Kernel /boot/vmlinux-2.2.19-6.2.10smp is too big
[root@limbo ~]# ls -l /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.19-6.2.10smp
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       672416 Oct  9 09:21
/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.19-6.2.10smp

Help my machine is vulnerable!
