I'm not sure that uC-Linux can't get that small. You loose some features bu it might be worth checking.
I don't know the details or how current this info is but from the "What is page":
* Common Linux API * uCkernel < 512 kb * uCkernel + tools < 900 kb
I don't know what is included in that 512K or if it is a compress image or not. However, I've heard its smaller. ...slim chance but worth looking into.

I need to get the kernel that I am building for my Geode sc1200 (including the linuxbios code) small enough to fit on a 256K eeprom. Is this possible? My first attempt resulted in vmlinux of 626K. After compiling linuxBIOS it gave my a rominage of 448K. Am I missing something? I tried to strip as much out of the kernel as possible. John
you are SOL. Linux has not been that small for years. You could try to compile an older kernel, but we have had zero luck with 256KB.
oh yeah, don't compile older kernels on newer linux. I've tried that and it fails. re-install red hat 1.0
