Without thinking too hard about your specific error message (since I'm not sure I'd be able to contribute much in that regard) I just wanted to confirm that you have the as86 (from package info: 8086 assembler and loader which can make 32-bit code for the 386+ processors, under Linux it's used only to create the 16-bit bootsector and setup binaries) assembler which is needed only on the i386 architecture and can be found in the bin86 package (apt-get install bin86). I've been having some trouble myself with compiling 2.2.18pre21 on my thinkpad, and wonder if it's a memory error in my case, but that's another issue. Yours certainly doesn't seem to be a memory issue to me. HTH, Daniel thanx in advance! from: Miguel S. Filipe (from PORTUGAL) -- Daniel A.

RE: problems compiling the kernel 2.4.2 with: debian testing/unstable
In /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/Makefile, you need to replace all instances of -oformat with --oformat. This threw me a bit too on kernels until I went and checked the upgrade messages, which tell you this. Peter -Original Message- From: Miguel F. M.
