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
