compiling kernel

I´m having a little trouble compiling a custom kernel for my RedHat 5.0
system. I am trying to get generic scsi support for my atapi cd-r so I
can get it to work with xcdroast. I select the kernel modules, etc.
with make xconfig, then I did a make dep, make clean and finally a make
boot. Here, the progam exits before finishing the make zImage. I get
an uncompressed kernel in the form of a file called vmlinux, but I don´t

get the compressed kernel. I tried a make zImage myself, but I get the
same error as I got after make boot:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.32/arch/i386/boot'
as86 -0 -a -o bootsect.o bootsect.s
make[1]: as86: Command not found
make[1]: *** [bootsect.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.32/arch/i386/boot'
make: *** [zImage] Error 2

I´ve never had to/tried to build a custom kernel before, so I am at a
bit of a loss here as to what to do. If someone could give me a hand,
I´d appreciate it.
