Kernel Won't Recompile



I am trying to compile the Linux Kernel 2.0.36 (Or is it 2.0.37?)

Anyway after doing a 'make config', then a 'make zImage', I get the
error listed below. Also a similar error after trying 'make bzImage'. I
might be the same, but I'm not sure.
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage does not appear after doing make
xImage. Thats my problem.

Here is the last 15 lines of the error. (Isn't there an easier way than
writing it all down?)

make[2]: Entering directory /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/compressed'
xtract /usr/src/linux/vmlinux | gzip -9 | ./piggyback > piggy.o

make[1]: [Compressed/vmlinux] Error 2
make[1]: leaving dir '/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot'
make: *** [zImage] Error 2

That's it. Comments I added are in ((double brackets)) I copied this
down with my hand so it might not be 100% accurate.

/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage is not being created.

What do I do?
