Hi everybody ! I´m using Debian 1.3.1. from the german computer magazin "Chip" and have a very misterious problem when I want to build / compile a customize kernel. On every time I use "make zImage" after about 5 minutes I get an error like " command as86 (also ld86) not found , leaving directory ./linux/arch/i386/boot, [bootsect.o] Error 127, [zImage] Error
2" . And the process aborts without anything done. When I use "make bzImage" the end is the same. I tryed it with many configurations and kernel sources ( 2.0.29 - 2.0.33 ). But nothing work. I also edited the Makefile in that directory and comment out the lines with this operations. Then I get only errors like "unknown ( or invalid ) processor command ". Then I probed to rename the files /usr/i486-linuxaout/bin/as and ld to as86 and ld86 or create a link from the directory named above to these files. It didn´t work. I used "make menuconfig" because "make xconfig" didn´t work. But X with the KDE display manager works fine. All the required links should be ok. I didn´t have any *.rej after that or a file /usr/bin/encaps ( a tip from the S.u.S.e online support database ) ." Make dep" and " make clean" worked correct. I don´t know what could it be. Perhaps has somebody other an idea or can help me in any way (but I don´t want to do an BIOS update). I had a problem like this also with an older Slackware distribution. Then I have an another problem with kdm. Since few days it doesn´t work and I don´t no why. The problem is that I don´t get any error messages or entrys in log-files or so on. The programm just don´t do anything. I can type in "xdm" and after 1 or 2 seconds I see the prompt again. That´s all ! On reason could be that the file /etc/init.de/xdm has 0 byte and is empty. Does somebody know from where I can get an installation package ? On the CD or the Debian ftp-Server I didn´t found it. greetings Lothar Some informations about my system : ========================= harddisk : Seagate ST52520A ; 2.5 GB (IDE) board : Octek Rhino 9 HX PCI graphic : Matrox Mystique (yes ... ) 2 MB processor : Cyrix 6x86 P166 + Rev. 2.7 other : Soundblaster 16 PnP ( ... ) and Hauppauge WinTV/pci ( also called as WinCastTV) Win95b on a primary partition (hda1) and Linux on a logical partition (hda5 and hda6) LILO in MBR Award PnP PCI-Bios v. 4.51PG 1996 Some Debian informations : ==================== gcc-2.7.2.1-3 libc4-4.6.27-15 libc5-5.4.17-1 libc5-dev-5.4.17-1 libc5-pic-5.4.17-1 binutils-2.7-5 ldso-1.8.5-1 make-3.75-1 dpkg-dev-1.4.0.5 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
