RE: [cobalt-developers] Raq3 Kernel compiling problems

["Matthew Nuzum" <newz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Find a rh6.2 package called dev86.  Here's a link for one at rpmfind:
ftp://ftp.rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/6.2/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/dev86-0.15
.0-2.i386.rpm 

My RedHat 7.1 server tells me this about as86:  

# rpm -qif /usr/bin/as86

Summary     : A real mode 80x86 assembler and linker.
Description :
The dev86 package provides an assembler and linker for real mode 80x86
instructions. You'll need to have this package installed in order to
build programs that run in real mode, including LILO and the kernel's
bootstrapping code, from their sources.

You should install dev86 if you intend to build programs that run in
real
mode from their source code.
