Re: Re-compiling Kernel error
Hi,
You need bin86. This is mentioned in the README that comes
with kernel-package, the README that comes with kernel-source-*, the
extended description of the kernel-source package (which is seen in
dselect), the extended description of the kernel-package package.
I guess I should also mention it in other places, and am open
to sugestions.
By the way, I strongly suggest people compiling kernel image
debian packages to read the /usr/doc/kernel-package/README.gz file
*before* attempting a compilation.

INSTALLATION NOTES:
Before you go any further, please allow me to point out that you need to
have a few other packages installed before you can compile your own kernels
(it is difficult to compile anything without a compiler ;-).
Firstly, you will need gcc, the libc development package (libc5-dev or
libc6-dev at the time of writing), and, on Intel platforms, bin86. [If
you use the menuconfig target of make, you will need ncursesX.X-dev,
and make xconfig also requires tkX.X-dev, and other packages these
depend on]
The packages suggested are:
devel: gcc, libc5-dev/libc6-dev, binutils, make, and, for intel
x86 platforms, bin86 (non-Intel platforms don't need
this).
interpreters: awk, which is contained in either the mawk or gawk packages
base: gzip, shellutils, and grep.
[SNIP]
