Hi there,

last night I wanted to compile a recent 1.6 kernel (sources are updated
nightly via sup) on one of my boxes. I followed the instructions in
UPDATING, but the build process failed with the following error message:

cc  -x assembler-with-cpp -traditional-cpp -D_LOCORE  -Di386 -I.
-I../../../../arch -I../../../.. -nostdinc -DLKM -DMAXUSERS=64 -D_KERNEL
-D_KERNEL_OPT -c ../../../../arch/i386/i386/apmcall.s
/tmp/ccoDp8Ft.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccoDp8Ft.s:618: Error: operands given don't match any known 386
instruction
*** Error code 1

Stop.

I realize that the error comes from apmcall.s. Currently the box is
running 1.5.3_ALPHA, and I did not change anything regarding APM in the
1.6 kernel config file. The options are as follows:

# Tuning for power management, see apm(4) for more details.
#options        APM_NO_IDLE             # Don't call BIOS CPU idle
function
#options        APM_V10_ONLY            # Use only the APM 1.0 calls
#options        APM_NO_POWEROFF         # Don't power off on halt(8)
options         APM_POWER_PRINT         # Print stats on the console
#options        APM_DISABLE_INTERRUPTS=0 # Don't disable interrupts

The motherboard is a PIII VIA chipset-based one from ASUS (TUV4X).

I have no idea where to look at and would appreciate any help and/or
pointers.

Bye, K&K,
T-Zee
