[cobalt-developers] Raq3 Kernel compiling problems

["Andy Brown" <andy.brown@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

Downloaded the rpm kernel sources from cobaltnet.com
RPM'd them, and did:
Make menuconfig
(Checked the usual things, didn't change anything, so it should just be
a standard cobalt vanilla kernel I compile here)
Make dep
Make bzImage

The make bzImage fails with the following error:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.2.16C28_III/include -E -C -P
-I/usr/src/linux-2.2.16C28_III/include -imacros

Does anybody know why this is happening, or how to correct the as86 file
not found error here??

Any hints please!
