Hi There,

if there is anyone who can help me, that well be great!!

i've tryed to compile my new linux-kernel 1.3.20(with no result), my computer
have the
following features:

1- 486 DX2/66, BIOS(Phoenix 1995)
2- 8MB RAM
3- Spea garfik card
4- two harddisks:
a) western digital 1654cy, 16hd, 63sec and 813MB
partions: had1(msdos), hda2(msdos)
b) samsung 1086cy, 16hd, 63esc and 547MB
partions: hdb1(msdos), hdb2(ext2) with linux, hdb3(swap) swap partion

after the intalltion, i wanted to compile the kernel as it use to be:

make config
make clean
make zImage

that was impossible and the reason which i don't understand follows:

>>darkstar:/usr/src/linux-1.3.20# make zImage
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-1.3.20/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2
-fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -m486 -c -o init/main.o init/main.c
/usr/src/linux-1.3.20/include/asm/string.h: In function `memchr':
In file included from /usr/src/linux-1.3.20/include/linux/string.h:38,
from init/main.c:20:/usr/src/linux-1.3.20/include/asm/string.h:445: virtual
memory exhausted
cpp: output pipe has been closed
make: *** [init/main.o] Error 1:<<

i've tryed to change the swap partion space : 100MB, 30MB, 20MB, 16MB but
there was no change
it was always the massage to see!!!
