Hello -
Please forgive if this is more of a stupid user question, but I
cannot seem to compile a new kernel under Mandrake 6.0.
I've pulled and installed the RPMs for the 2.2.13-7 kernel, ran make config,
make dep, make clean - but when I run make zImage it bombs: (all files are
in /usr/src/linux)
here's the gist of the puke: (make runs for a LONG time before hitting this)
______________________________________________________________________
make:[1] Entering directory 'usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot'
gcc -D__Kernel__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -E -D__BIG_KERNEL__ -traditional
_DSVGA_MODE=NORMAL_VGA bootsect.S -o bbootsect.s
as86 -O -a -o bbootsect.o bbootsect.s
make[1]: as86: Command not found
make[1]: ***[bbootsect.o] Error 127
make[1[: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot'
make:***[bzImage] Error 2
__________________________________________________________________________
it looks like some kind of call to an assembler (??) but that is not present
on my system. What gives?
I've made sure all dependencies are satisfied to the best of my knowledge.
Thanx
Don
