However, I cannot compile a kernel successfully. I am presently running a
stable 1.2.13 a.out kernel. Trying to compile 1.3.21 as either elf or
a.out fails.
The logs posted below the sig are configured to NOT compile the kernel as
ELF from "make config", then "make clean", then "make zImage"; these errors
are at the end of the "make zImage" run. The kernel is configured for
module support also.
I tried adding "-b i486-linuxaout" to the Makefile to make the a.out
kernel, but that did not work either.
I figure there is a library reference confused somewhere, but I don' know
where. The move_to_elf notes speak of a kernel patch to compile the
kernel as ELF, but I don't know what that is referring to.
Any help is appreciated, including things I may have blindly overlooked or
not read.
