True, I also saw something similar on my VS4000/96 when testing a
USB-enabled kernel (GENERIC_USB, large!), although not with a GENERIC
kernel yet.
Then increasing/moving "RELOC" will help (please try for a still
working value, not sure which one works or is a general good value
also for small machines):
