my kernel does not assemble!
Hey all ... I think I have a question for ya (hopefully it's not
completly stupid)
I'm running deb w/ the 2.0.34 kernel installed -- I want to recompile the
kernel so I can add network support, but I've come accross a problem.
I can switch to /usr/src/linux and run 'make config' ... the I run 'make
dep' and finally 'make zImage'. The config/dep work fine, and all the
components of the kernel compile too.. but then the make zImage falls out
on me after trying to run 'as86 ...', as86 being some program that's not
on my machine! I've tried to search for as86, and have come up with
nothing. I've even decompressed the kernel-2.0.34 source again, but
same problem. Am I doing something stupid here, or is this legit?
I'm gonna try 2.2.1, and maybe that'll work okay. It's just the as86 only
appears in the Makefile for /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/kernel that has the
as86 defined in it. I've tried replacing it with just plain 'ol as, but
the switches for as86 don't work -- and it won't compile w/o the
switches.. do I have to run something like 'make archdep'?
.. many thanks from a confused user ..
..Mike
