When I tried to compile a kernel for 2.1.15 and/or 2.1.56, I did a "make
zImage"
It seemed to work fine till it got to the very end of the making, when it
got the messages:

/tmp/cca02752.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cca02752.s: 618: Error : Unknown pseudo-op: '.rept'
/tmp/cca02752.s: 620: Error : Unknown pseudo-op: '.endr'
make [1]: *** [entry.o] Error 1
make [1]: Leaving Dir '/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/kernel'
make: [linuxsubdirs] Error 2

then it just leaves my at the prompt w/o writing zImage. What is wrong?
Any help would be
greatly appriciated! Thanks in advance,
