???? WTF did you do? Built a monolithic kernel with every known driver?

I'd start by looking at the build script. My own vmlinux image is about

1MB for an ARM platform.

I think you have problems beyond the flash.

Yep...I have never built i kernel that big....Is it possible your talking about your jffs2 image being that big...? if so you must be using glibc and your not stripping the filesystem...

Or using Konqueror embedded + qt + i18n + UTF-8 fonts.... (Like me. Choke, gag, 33 mb fs... Gah.)
