Hello, I'm not being capable to compile the 2.4.2 kernel in my linux debian... and i can't understand the cause of the error, the problem aparently happens right at the end.. after compiling: /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bbootsect.S here is the error message that apears on the console:
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot' gcc -E -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -D__BIG_KERNEL__ -traditional -DSVGA_MODE=NORMAL_VGA bootsect.S -o bbootsect.s as -o bbootsect.o bbootsect.s bbootsect.s: Assembler messages: bbootsect.s:253: Warning: indirect lcall without `*' ld -m elf_i386 -Ttext 0x0 -s -oformat binary bbootsect.o -o bbootsect ld: cannot open binary: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [bbootsect] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot' make: *** [bzImage] Error 2 This happens with three diferent config files.. and the file bbootsect.o exists.... Can anyone help me? I really would like to fix this. If any important information is omitted.. please email me i'll be glad to help you helping me. I've instaled debian 2.2r0.. and then.. updgraded to the unstable version with dselect, i can't see what package could be missing to cause this.. or any other reason... totaly lost out here! thanx in advance! from: Miguel S.
