including those modules that you actually need into the initrd in order to get a smaller initrd (with the --modules flag). Without --modules, a default selection is picked which may not fit, because your kernel is slightly larger than the default.
I was able to run the makeImage pointing both to /usr/src/linux-2.4.21/arch/i386/boot/bzImage and to /lib/modules/2.4.21-udpcast/build/arch/i386/boot/bzImage. I can either just specify the --module "module name" or I can do a --bzip2 and it writes to the disk fine. The boot disk works also. Now I need to put the bcm5700 modules on to the disk. I'm not quite sure how to do this. I tried putting the compiled bcm5700.o driver into /lib/modules/2.4.21-udpcast/build/drivers/net and tried to recompile (make oldconfig and then do the other makes). I recompiled from /lib/modules/2.4.21-udpcast/build/. Then I did the makeImage and pointed it to use the bzImage from /lib/modules/2.4.21-udpcast/build/arch/i386/boot/. I also specified --modules "bcm5700". However; now I get "Non-existant module "bcm5700". Any ideas?
