hi again I just ran bzImage again, and the last few lines of output show this error:
"make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.12/arch/i386/boot" as86 -0 -a -o bbootsect.o bbootsect.s make[1]: as86: Command not found make[1]: *** [bbootsect.o] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.12/arch/i386/boot" make: *** [bzImage] Error 2" I'm guessing that the second line there is the problem, and that the rest of the problems flow from there. Does anyone know what would cause this error? thanks Andrew ------------------------------------------------- Andrew McRobert LLB B.Sc(Comp.

Actually, it gets compressed with either of those two methods. I'm guessing that he copied the wrong file from ... wherever it is that the files come from. I always use bzlilo ... can't remember where the various files get dropped. Thing is, there's a pre-compression file that gets left somewhere, and then there's the post-compression file. My guess is that it was the pre-compression file that he copied. Ah, there it is. According to the Kernel-HOWTO ... 7.11. `Not a compressed kernel Image file'' Don't use the vmlinux file created in /usr/src/linux as your boot image; [..]/arch/i386/boot/bzImage is the right one. I'd guess it was the vmlinux file that he grabbed. -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | He that is slow to believe anything and | everything is of great understanding, '91 GS500E | for belief in one false principle is the Morgantown WV | beginning of all unwisdom. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
