I got this when the compilation enters the final state (compiling the zImage)
as86 -0 -a -o bootsect.o bootsect.s
make[1]: as86: Command not found
make[1]: *** [bootsect.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.0/arch/i386/boot'
make: *** [zImage] Error 2
Please e-mail (don't post).
Your help is greatly appreciated.
