Image

Alright... I've been trying all afternoon to get the 2.4.2 kernel to compile, but it will just not build the bzImage. It gets nearly all the way through compiling, but dies in arch/i386/boot with this:
    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

I've figured out that 'binary' is supposed to be a file that it has already built, but where is it supposed to make it and it isn't? I can't even get 2.4.1 to compile anymore (used to work). Had just reinstalled Debian on my computer (switched from woody to sid). I also tried compiling on my webserver (running sid too), and I'm about to try it on my laptop (potato).

Anyone have any ideas?
