RE: LILO & Kernel Image too big --> Make error
hi again
I just ran bzImage again, and the last few lines of output show this error:
"make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.12/arch/i386/boot"
as86 -0 -a -o bbootsect.o bbootsect.s
make[1]: as86: Command not found
make[1]: *** [bbootsect.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.12/arch/i386/boot"
make: *** [bzImage] Error 2"
I'm guessing that the second line there is the problem, and that the rest of
the problems flow from there. Does anyone know what would cause this error?
thanks
Andrew

Actually, it gets compressed with either of those two methods. I'm guessing
that he copied the wrong file from ... wherever it is that the files come
from. I always use bzlilo ... can't remember where the various files get
dropped.
Thing is, there's a pre-compression file that gets left somewhere, and then
there's the post-compression file. My guess is that it was the
pre-compression file that he copied.
Ah, there it is. According to the Kernel-HOWTO ...
7.11. `Not a compressed kernel Image file''
Don't use the vmlinux file created in /usr/src/linux as your boot
image; [..]/arch/i386/boot/bzImage is the right one.
I'd guess it was the vmlinux file that he grabbed.
