I've just tried compiling 2.0.36 with SMP support on my brand new and shiny debian box (hamm), but it broke halfway through.
I'm asking the question here as I think I'm missing an important system file, and was hoping somebody would be able to tell me which .deb it's in. "make menuconfig" and "make dep; make clean" work fine, but after a fair degree of success with "make zImage" I get; -- gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.0.36/include -E -D__ELF__ -D__SMP__ -traditional trampoline.S -o trampoline.s as86 -0 -a -o trampoline.o trampoline.s make[1]: as86: Command not found make[1]: *** [trampoline.o] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.36/arch/i386/kernel' make: *** [linuxsubdirs] Error 2 -- It compiles cleanly without SMP support (i.e. with SMP=1 commented out in /usr/src/linux/Makefile). Thanks in advance. P.S. not really sure what I'm doing with dpkg yet, as I've just switched from using Red Hat (which may explain a few things). -- Graham Ashton
